An evening of exceptional wine, curated cuisine and unforgettable conversation — for forty guests only.
Nocturne brings together a small circle of guests for a single night built entirely around the dialogue between food and wine. Six courses, six pours, each chosen not to accompany the other but to complete it.
Our chef and sommelier design the evening as one continuous conversation — course by course, glass by glass — in a room set for intimacy rather than spectacle. This is not a tasting. It is a table.
Amara trained at the Cape Wine Academy before spending six years curating cellars for private clients across East Africa. She designs every Nocturne pairing personally, tasting each vintage against the season's menu before it is confirmed.
Formerly of a two-Michelin-starred kitchen in Lyon, Julien now leads Nocturne's rotating pop-up dinners across Nairobi. His menus favour restraint — few ingredients, precisely handled — built to let each wine speak.
Your seat includes a six-course tasting menu with a full wine pairing for each course, welcome sparkling wine, and all service charges. Gratuity is at your discretion.
Each reservation may include up to six guests. For larger groups, please contact us directly to arrange a private table.
