This Valentine’s weekend, spend an exclusive morning at the National Portrait Gallery and The Portrait Restaurant celebrating love and romance. Begin the morning with a private, out-of-hours tour guided by the Gallery’s Senior Storyteller, Daniel Hausherr. As he illuminates the Collection, discover great loves, non-traditional loves, and love affairs that really went wrong.
Following the tour, ascend to The Portrait Restaurant for a Champagne masterclass with Champagne expert Martin Dibben. Each tasting is a study in craftsmanship, featuring exquisite Champagnes from renowned houses, each reflecting a dedication to excellence and a spirit of celebration.
The morning offers a unique combination of art, history, and indulgence – a serene yet celebratory experience, perfect for honouring those we cherish in surroundings of understated luxury. The experience begins promptly at 10.00 and concludes at 12.00, with guests kindly invited to arrive 10–15 minutes in advance to ensure a seamless start.
Guests are also invited to book a leisurely lunch at The Portrait Restaurant after the masterclass to continue the Valentine’s Day celebration, enjoying a refined dining experience in the Gallery’s elegant surroundings.
