Swiss-Belhotel Pondok Indah recently hosted Garden Wine & Dine, a charming evening that brought the flavors and spirit of Tuscany to Jakarta. Held outdoors beneath the stars, the event featured a four-course Italian menu crafted by Chef Matteo Meacci, paired with free-flow wines from Hatten Wines.
Guests were treated to antipasti, seafood, and dolci, each dish presented personally by the chef, who shared stories behind his creations, with live music adding a soulful rhythm to the garden setting, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
The ambiance blended rustic elegance with warm hospitality, inviting guests to savor each moment, flickering candlelight, curated plating, and the chef’s storytelling turning dinner into a sensory journey through Italy.
As a parting gesture, each guest received a handcrafted pizza and a personal note from Chef Matteo, creating a warm reminder of a night filled with flavor, connection, and thoughtful detail. The event captured the essence of la dolce vita, where food infuses memories and every bite tells a story.
