This winter, The Brown Hotel is inviting guests to take pleasure in some of the world’s finest champagnes and sparkling wines at price points that are every bit as palatable to the taste as they are to the wallet. Beginning on New Year’s Eve and continuing every Friday in January and February, The Brown Hotel will offer a special Champagne Tasting Menu in its famed lobby bar from 4 to 7 p.m. and again from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. The tasting menu will feature three specialty champagne and sparkling wine offerings by the glass and a series of small plates created to accompany the bubbly.

In honor of the new champagne tasting menu, the hotel will be offering patrons a specialty priced hotel package for two. Guests who mention the champagne promotion will receive an overnight stay complete with chocolate covered strawberries upon arrival and a Hot Brown lunch for two on either the Friday or Saturday of their stay. The special package is available for $139 plus tax on Friday nights from January 6 through February 24, 2012 and also includes valet parking, free wireless internet and complimentary airport transportation. The promotion is also available on New Year’s Eve at a rate of $219 plus tax. Call (502) 583-1234 for reservations.
