Guest of Honour for Diner en Blanc Port of Spain 2026
Dîner en Blanc Port of Spain is delighted to welcome His Excellency Guillaume Pierre, Ambassador of France to Trinidad and Tobago, as Guest of Honour for its 2026 edition.
His Excellency’s involvement represents a meaningful connection between the French heritage of Dîner en Blanc and the culture, creativity and unmistakable spirit of Trinidad and Tobago—two influences that will come together for one extraordinary evening in Port of Spain.
A Meeting of Shared Vision
Hosts Meagan Monsegue and Nigel Roach recently had the pleasure of meeting with His Excellency at his residence to share their vision for this year’s celebration.
Over champagne, the conversation explored the story at the heart of the 2026 edition: honouring the tradition that began in Paris while creating an experience that feels authentic to Port of Spain and the people who bring the city to life.
The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the event’s French origins, its enduring celebration of elegance and togetherness, and the distinctive cultural expression that Trinidad and Tobago will bring to the occasion.
His Excellency shared thoughtful ideas, encouragement and generous support for the evening ahead. The Hosts left the meeting feeling inspired, energised and even more excited about the experience taking shape.
“We are deeply grateful for His Excellency’s warm welcome, encouragement and willingness to support the event. Our vision is to honour the French heritage of Dîner en Blanc while allowing Port of Spain to express it in a way that feels elegant, culturally meaningful and unmistakably ours,” said Hosts Meagan Monsegue and Nigel Roach.
French Heritage, Port of Spain Spirit
Dîner en Blanc has always been more than a dinner. It is a celebration of friendship, elegance, spontaneity and the art of gathering—transforming a shared public space into an unforgettable scene dressed entirely in white.
For the 2026 edition, those cherished traditions will meet the warmth, creativity and cultural character of Trinidad and Tobago.
The result will be a distinctly Port of Spain interpretation of an internationally recognised experience: refined yet vibrant, timeless yet alive with the spirit of the city.
The involvement of His Excellency Guillaume Pierre as Guest of Honour adds special significance to that connection. It creates a bridge between the tradition’s French point of departure and the new story being written in Port of Spain.
An Unforgettable Evening Awaits
On Saturday, 14 November 2026, guests will gather for an evening defined by elegance, discovery and shared celebration.
In keeping with the tradition of Dîner en Blanc, the destination will remain a secret until the appointed moment. While the location is still to be revealed, the spirit of the evening is already becoming clear: a celebration rooted in French heritage, interpreted through the culture and character of Port of Spain.
As anticipation continues to build, Dîner en Blanc Port of Spain looks forward to welcoming His Excellency Guillaume Pierre as Guest of Honour and bringing this shared vision to life.
A French point of departure.
A Port of Spain expression.
One very special evening.
