As Chelsea came into full bloom, …At Sloane invited guests to savour the season through a glass of Provence’s finest. From 19th–25th May, the sixth-floor dining room hosted A Room of Flowers—a floral installation created with London design studio Cereus Nights. Inspired by Whistler’s Peacock Room and reimagined through contemporary floristry, the space featured cascading arrangements of delphiniums, foxgloves, lupins, peonies, passion flowers, orchids, sweet peas, and more—many British-grown. A palette of deep indigos, warm golds, and creamy neutrals set a romantic, timeless tone.
The highlight of this immersive experience was Hanikon rosé, a sophisticated new wine from the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence. Served as part of Le Goûter—…At Sloane’s elegant Parisian-style afternoon tea—Hanikon captured the essence of spring in every sip. Crafted from Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah, this crisp, pale rosé offered delicate notes of wild strawberry, citrus zest, and white peach.
Its frosted bottle and signature yellow wax seal echoed the floral installation’s refined palette, reflecting a design-led philosophy rooted in slow living and understated elegance.
Designed for unhurried indulgence, Hanikon rosé was more than a drink—it was a sensory statement. Perfectly paired with a curated selection of sweet and savoury delicacies such as Rose Bakery’s iconic carrot cake and a light cheese-and-ham feuilleté, the wine offered a serene contrast to the bustling energy of RHS Chelsea Flower Show week.
Set within interiors designed by François-Joseph Graf—where the Arts & Crafts tradition met Chelsea’s storied past—A Room of Flowers transformed the space into a celebration of artistry, seasonality, and taste. Whether guests came for the flowers or the food, it was the wine that led the way.
