Signature Event: Cornucopia Gala Early Entry: 30th Edition

Event Description

Begin Cornucopia’s ultimate 30th celebration with an exclusive experience created for guests who want a little more time, a lot more flavour and a first taste of the feast to come.

Early Entry provides access to the Cornucopia 30th Edition Gala one full hour before the main doors open. During this private opening hour, a limited number of guests will be welcomed to a special mini-feast inspired by the abundance of the Horn of Plenty, with five culinary stations featuring inspired creations and thoughtfully selected beverage pairings.

Move through the stations at your own pace, meet the chefs, producers and beverage professionals behind each offering, and discover the stories and inspiration behind what is being served. With fewer guests in the room, this extra hour provides additional time and space to savour each tasting, connect with featured talent and ease into the evening before the celebration reaches full energy.

Created especially for Cornucopia’s milestone anniversary, this elevated experience brings a stronger culinary focus to the Gala while embracing the spirit of a modern feast of the gods. Raise a glass with friends, discover new flavours and indulge in five exclusive tastings designed to make the beginning of the evening feel worthy of Olympus.

When the main doors open, continue onto the Cornucopia 30th Edition Gala experience. Explore an impressive selection of wines, sparkling pours, cocktails, spirits and creative alcohol-free options before joining the full celebration of live entertainment, music, dancing and unexpected surprises.

This is more than arriving early. It is your invitation to begin the celebration with an exclusive taste of abundance before joining the full revelry. From the first bite to the final song on the dance floor, Early Entry is the most complete way to experience Cornucopia’s once-in-a-generation celebration.

One extra hour. Five exclusive culinary stations. One unforgettable way to begin the party.
