A night of innovation, indulgence and discovery with Lenovo

In an exclusive event powered by Lenovo, guests got a chance to discover the brand’s latest innovations, as well as a chocolate and cognac pairing masterclass

As the sun began to set on a balmy Tuesday, a select group of discerning individuals gathered at the Moet Hennessy Lounge. The clink of glasses mingled with soft murmurs of conversation as the guests readied themselves for an evening of innovation, indulgence, and discovery. The occasion? Tatler Singapore curated an experience powered by Lenovo, and made in collaboration with Läderach and Hennessy, where technology, tradition, and taste were elevated to an art form.

Whether it is the art of collaboration, craftsmanship or spirits, it’s safe to say that Tatler appreciates the finer things in life. And this event was the perfect blend of all three.

To kick off the evening, Nigel Lee, country general manager of Lenovo Singapore, gave an engaging presentation on Lenovo’s evolution—from its origins as a local Chinese tech company to becoming a global technology powerhouse. Artificial Intelligence (AI) was another focal point of Lee’s address. “I’m sure many of you here today work with data within your organisation. But the important question is ‘How are you making use of this data and how are you optimising this data in your business?’” he asked. “Because today, data is gold—and Lenovo is reimagining how we interact with technology, how businesses operate, and how human potential can be amplified.”

Following Lee’s address, it was time for the evening’s highlight: a chocolate and cognac pairing masterclass. Rachel Hoe, brand owner of chocolatier Läderach, and Bryan Lee, brand manager of Hennessy, led the 45-minute session which explored tasting notes and pairing techniques to showcase the harmony between Swiss artisanal chocolates and premium cognacs. Hoe and Lee’s passion for their brands was palpable as they led guests through a curated selection of flavors, encouraging them to savour every bite and sip with intention.

The pairing masterclass began with Läderach’s signature FrischSchoggi raspberry blackberry white chocolate paired with Hennessy V.S.O.P. Next, they sampled the orange almond dark chocolate, which resonated beautifully with Hennessy X.O. For their final pairing, guests sampled Läderach’s hazelnut dark chocolate together with Hennessy Paradis, an exquisite blend known for its velvety smoothness and refined complexity.
