When Hospitality Becomes Something Bigger Than Hospitality

Most dinners end when the last glass is poured.

Some stay with you longer.

On May 15th, Bistro 17 at Sofitel Saigon Plaza will host a special charity gala dinner in support of Comité de Solidarité Vietnam — an evening where gastronomy, wine, and generosity come together around a shared purpose.

Three chefs. One menu created specifically for the occasion. Exceptional wines offered by partners and sponsors. But beyond the food and the bottles, this event represents something we believe deeply at Glouglou Wines: hospitality should create connection.

In an industry often focused on performance, trends, and appearances, evenings like this remind us why restaurants matter in the first place.

They bring people together. They create moments of warmth, exchange, and humanity around the table. That is also why we chose to support this dinner. Not simply as a sponsor, but because solidarity, transmission, and sharing are values that feel inseparable from wine culture itself. Behind every bottle are people, hands, stories, and communities. Supporting initiatives that help others feels like a natural extension of that philosophy.

The evening will feature a collaborative menu imagined by Guillaume Rogier, Thao Na, and Sinh Bui — three chefs with distinct culinary identities, united here for a meaningful cause.

A sincere thank you as well to all partners and sponsors helping bring this event to life.

Very few seats remain.
