Bradley Mitton’s Club Vivanova has been going on the Riviera for around 15 years now delivering great events at excellent venues where members can socialise tasting brilliant wines and eating beautiful food.
Bradley is an entrepreneur with his feet firmly on the ground with a real understanding of what his members want. He works closely with his venues to ensure that they are happy and in turn his members are happy. I can attest to the care and attention to detail that Bradley pays to each and every event.
The main event in a vibrant club calendar is the Club Vivanova Luxury Lifestyle Charity Gala that is held in Monte Carlo’s famed Fairmont Hotel. It has grown over the years into being one of the major social events in Monaco. The club has always been connected to the Prince, but latterly it has had the direct patronage of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco. It supports Fight Aids Monaco as well as Ecoute Cancer Réconfort which is the charity of Pauline Ducruet, Princess Stéphanie’s daughter. Pauline Ducruet also creates the fashion show that is always stunning and guaranteed to receive a standing ovation. The Gala is no slouch when it comes to entertainment with live music coming from Alexandra Miller.
You can’t talk about Bradley without mentioning wines. Bradley is a wine lover who has a natural talent in pairing wines with menus. His vast knowledge of wines, especially New World wines, makes it easy for him to work with his restaurant venues in providing pairings that work with all cuisines. Considering the number of cuisines with whom Bradley works makes it quite a feat! There is the Barolo event coming up with wines from that region, a trip there is also planned.
There is no question that Club Vivanova has provided something special that did not exist before. It brings together people, food and wines in a social setting so that people can feel part of a club rather than simply booking a table. It is not limited to being purely social either, some events such as the one during the Monaco Yacht Show, were targeted to bringing business people together in a similarly relaxed environment to make contacts whilst enjoying some excellent food and wine.
