Upon arrival, guests were greeted by a gorgeous display of Bentley automobiles, and inside, live DJ music, passed canapés from MG Catering & Events and sips of Champagne. After welcome words from Holman Vice President/General Manager Gregg Stone and Brian Bates, President and CEO, Holman Consumer Services, they invited Bentley VP of Sales and Operations Mike Rocco to speak to the guests about Bentley’s 100-year legacy and its unveiling of the Flying Spur.

Afterwards, the group headed out to the pool area for a private dinner, where they enjoyed a three-course meal including a caesar salad to start; salmon and filet for mains; and a splurge-worthy, red velvet cake for dessert.

Following, LOUIS XIII Ambassador Maximilien Pats led the group through the brand’s iconic tasting moment, explaining to them the rich history of the regal cognac. He noted that it was the perfect fit for a celebratory dinner during FLIBS—considering Bentley Motors just celebrated 100 years—as LOUIS XIII embodies 100 years in each decanter.
