Caviar Week is a platform for a community that seeks to explore & experience caviar. It is collection of 52 immersive presentations of Caviar. Together, consumers, restaurants and brands identify with and celebrate the History, Culture, Cuisine, Economy & Ecology of Caviar. The global collection of gatherings is distributed across hundreds venues, world-wide & year-round. Each individual week is presented in a different city. Caviar Week is “Caviar Brand Agnostic”. This means we are NOT a caviar producer promoting only our brand. Rather, we are a platform for ALL caviar producers to showcase their product and tell their story.
FOR COSUMERS
Caviar week is a way to explore and experience caviar at all levels. Some gatherings cater to The Caviar Curious, others to Caviar Connoisseurs and some to Caviar Aficionados. There is always a range of offerings and price points to match the consumers interest, intent and budget.
FOR RESTAURANTS
For restaurants, a Caviar Week is the OPPOSITE of a Restaurant Week as there is no expectation or requirement to offer a discount. Rather, the opportunity here is to feature your premium caviar offerings at standard prices. Caviar Week can be used as a great opportunity to educate your staff on caviar, caviar service and more. Caviar Week offers guests an “in restaurant “dining offering” that affords restaurants an opportunity to showcase their caviar service, a dish that features caviar and/or a caviar & wine pairing package..

FOR PARTNERS
Caviar Week offers “sponsors or partners” the opportunity to pair their product, service, experience or destination with the global and ancient branding, positioning and traditions of caviar. This is “Caviar Related Marketing”. Partners will receive packages of tickets to gatherings can use them to entertain clients or reward customers. SPONSORS & PARTNERS, LEARN MORE HERE
FOR MEDIA
Caviar Week offers an “media outlets” the opportunity to create compelling content, web traffic, data collection and/or community building though their coverage of gatherings and dining options.
GATHERINGS
The Collection of gatherings each Caviar Week offers will be unique, evolving, enchanting & engaging. Some may be as small as 6 guests. Rarely will they exceed 30 guests.
Various kinds of gatherings will be offered throughout each week. Some will be presented in gardens, others in galleries. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, boutiques and other elegant venues will host a gatherings along a continuum of price points and complexity.
Think of a Caviar Week to be to caviar what a Fashion Week is to fashion; a “distributed event series” presented across a host of venues, during a 7 day time frame….each with a unique themes, features and offerings.
One event might pair caviar with champagne in a Botanical Garden and another might pair caviar with bourbon in a Speakeasy. One might be ticketed at $150 for the Caviar Curious and feature fine yet affordable & approachable product for those new to caviar and another might be priced at $500 and feature some of the finest caviar in the world for the seasoned Caviar Aficionado.
DINING OPPORTUNITIES
Caviar Week offers restaurants the opportunity to “flex” their caviar game and for consumers to experience different caviar offerings and services at various restaurants within a city. During Caviar Week restaurants will feature their caviar service, use of caviar in dishes and/or a premium caviar & wine pairing packages for any sized group, at a time of the customers choosing. These offerings will be part of their regular service and consumers can choose from a collection of 12 “Black Pearl’s” or Elite Caviar Destinations. Guests in pursuit of an elite caviar experience in a restaurant setting (rather than at a scheduled & themed gathering) will have a host of choices to do so, in a host of cities, world-wide & year-round.
