Celebrate the festive season with unique workshops inspired by famous poets.
For teams and groups of friends looking for a special year-end outing, the Renaissance Brussels Hotel presents an experience where poetry and mixology come together in a magical way. Inspired by ‘The Poet’ restaurant, monthly cocktail workshops are organized that blend the lives of famous poets with creative, flavorful cocktails.
A Poet of Choice, A New Experience Every Month
Each month, a different poet is featured—think of Maya Angelou, Scott Fitzgerald, or Jane Austen—whose life and work serve as the foundation for the cocktails served. What makes these workshops extra special is that organizers have the freedom to select their own favorite poet, giving each session a unique, personal touch. Whether you choose a romantic evening inspired by Pablo Neruda or the raw intensity of Charles Bukowski, the possibilities are endless.
An Intimate, Two-Hour Workshop Experience
Led by The Poet bartenders, participants are taken through the story of the chosen poet and the crafting of signature cocktails. Over the course of this two-hour workshop, each guest enjoys two specially prepared cocktails and bites by Chef Jérôme Ragon, perfectly tailored to the poet’s theme. With a maximum of 25 participants per workshop, the setting is intimate and interactive, allowing team members to connect, enjoy, and collaborate creatively.
A Preview: Paul Verlaine and Absinthe
On November 14, Renaissance offers a special workshop for individual guests, inspired by the life story of French poet Paul Verlaine. This session promises an unforgettable introduction to absinthe cocktails, a fitting tribute to Verlaine’s bohemian lifestyle and deep love for the arts.
