Moonlight & Eil

Sure, we have champagne & fondue, but what’s the story behind Moonlight & Eli?

We weren’t searching for a name—it just happened, and it’s a mystery!

About 10 years ago, my mum and I found an old photo labeled “Moonlight & Eli” while going through my late grandmother Julia’s pictures. Eli wasn’t my grandfather, and my mum had no idea who he was. Julia was 20 when the photo was taken in 1935, and the mystery of “Moonlight” became a romantic puzzle.

I told my mum, “One day, I’ll open a Champagne bar and call it ‘Moonlight & Eli.’” And here we are!

Champagne, like love, comes in many forms. Our cozy space and sparkling wines are the perfect setting for your love story. We invite you to share your stories with us—let’s build an archive of love.
