A toast to all things cool, fine and elegant.
Over the weekend, several industry captains and business moguls were hosted at the picturesque Pineapple Bay Island for the relaunch of Blue Club.
The club offers meticulously curated events, which seamlessly merge business discourse with refined luxury and the re-launch was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment the guests boarded boats at the scenic Lake Victoria Serena Resort at Kigo, it was evident that the event exuded elegance.
Upon arrival, guests were greeted with a long blue carpet and a range of exquisitely crafted cocktails, setting the stage for a day of relaxation, refinement, and deep conversations.
The afternoon kicked off with a whisky mentorship and tasting session, highlighting the rich flavours of the iconic Blue Label. During this session, guests were guided through the art of savouring the finest whiskies, learning and unlearning the delicate nuances of enjoying undoubtedly one of the world’s most iconic and rarest whisky to date.
Michael Kitanda and Selector Jay were the major entertainers.
