Salvador Dalí didn’t just create art — he lived it. His life was a celebration of the bizarre, the luxurious, and the surreal, all of which culminated in his fantastical cookbook, Les Dîners de Gala. This 1973 masterpiece wasn’t merely a collection of recipes; it was a portal into Dalí’s eccentric world, where food became art, and dining was an extravagant, multi-sensory experience.
Now, this legacy of indulgence and surrealism finds a new expression in the Champagne Collection, inspired by Dalí’s most iconic works and his passion for lavish feasts. Imagine raising a glass shaped like a golden lobster — an homage to Dalí’s famous Lobster Telephone (1938) — while savoring champagne that evokes the decadence of his surreal banquets. This is more than a drink; it’s an invitation to step into Dalí’s dreamscape, where art, taste, and luxury collide.
Les Dîners de Gala itself was a celebration of excess and creativity, featuring 136 recipes divided into 12 themed chapters, including aphrodisiacs and exotic dishes. Its pages were adorned with Dalí’s surrealist illustrations, blending culinary themes with his signature artistic motifs. The cookbook reflected his belief that food was not just sustenance but a sensual, almost theatrical experience.
Taking inspiration from Dalí’s ethos, the Champagne Collection brings his surrealist vision to life in a modern context. Each glass of champagne becomes a toast to the surreal, a celebration of the extraordinary. As Dalí once said, “A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.” With this collection, his legacy continues to inspire, merging art with gastronomy in a way that only Dalí could imagine.
Raise your glass, and let the effervescent bubbles transport you into Dalí’s world — a place where indulgence knows no bounds, and every sip is a masterpiece.
