Moët Hennessy USA made history last week by hosting their first-ever portfolio-wide event at Tales of the Cocktail: La Maison by Moët Hennessy USA. This exclusive three-day affair invited guests to step into the world of luxury at the renowned Latrobe’s on Royal in New Orleans. La Maison offered an immersive and unforgettable experience, where attendees had the opportunity to explore the exquisite offerings of Moët & Chandon, Ardbeg, Glenmorangie, Belvedere, Volcan, and Hennessy V.S & V.S.O.P.
