A winter table worth gathering around

A winter table worth gathering around

Winter has a way of bringing us back to the table.

It's the season of comfort food, cosy evenings and beautifully styled tables that invite people to linger a little longer. As the temperatures drop, meals become slower, portions become heartier and gathering with family and friends feels a little more meaningful.

Whether you're hosting a relaxed Sunday lunch, a fireside dinner or an evening of entertaining, the right combination of tableware and glassware helps create a setting that feels both welcoming and memorable.

This winter, we're pairing seasonal favourites with the Manhattan glassware collection, the timeless elegance of White Basics Diamonds and the contemporary sophistication of Caviar .

Start with a signature sip

Every memorable gathering begins with a warm welcome.

Before guests take their seats, serve a seasonal cocktail in the Manhattan Martini Glass. Whether it's a classic espresso martini, a spiced winter martini or a festive citrus cocktail, a beautifully presented drink instantly sets the tone for the evening.

Styled alongside White Basics Diamonds serving pieces and a selection of light appetisers, it's an effortless way to create a sense of occasion from the moment guests arrive.

The fireside dinner

Slow-cooked beef stew, red wine & Caviar

Nothing brings comfort to a winter table quite like a rich, slow-cooked beef stew. Deep flavours, tender cuts of meat and warming aromas make it the perfect centrepiece for a cold evening shared with family and friends.

Served in Caviar, the dramatic matte finish creates a striking contrast against hearty winter dishes, adding a sophisticated touch to the table. Complete the experience with a bold red wine served in a Manhattan Wine glass, designed to elevate every sip.

It's a pairing made for long conversations and second helpings.

The comforting lunch

Butternut soup, artisan bread & White Basics Diamonds

Simple meals often leave the biggest impression.

A bowl of velvety butternut soup served with warm artisan bread is comfort food at its finest. Styled with White Basics Diamonds, the subtle textured finish adds elegance while allowing the vibrant colours of seasonal ingredients to shine.

Pair with sparkling water, homemade lemonade or a refreshing winter spritz served in a Manhattan Highball glass for a table setting that feels effortlessly refined.

The weekend grazing table

Cheese Board, reserves & Manhattan Whisky Glasses

Winter entertaining doesn't always require a full meal.

A grazing table filled with cheeses, preserves, crackers and seasonal fruit creates an inviting spread for relaxed afternoons and evenings at home.

Serve your whisky in a Manhattan Whisky Glass and let guests help themselves while conversations flow naturally around the table. The combination of shared food, good company and beautiful glassware is what winter entertaining is all about.

Bringing winter entertaining together

The best gatherings aren't about perfection. They're about creating moments people enjoy and remember.

By combining the contemporary style of Caviar, the timeless elegance of White Basics Diamonds and the versatility of Manhattan Glassware, it's easy to create a winter table that's warm, inviting and designed for sharing.

This season, gather your favourite people, serve something comforting and enjoy the simple pleasure of spending time together. ❄️🍷
