The welcome
The gathering of remarkable people around a single table in the French countryside.
Elkemist™ is Satopia’s signature philanthropic experience, an alchemy of world-class dining, remarkable company and transformative generosity, set in the beauty of the French countryside.
At its heart is the Foundation Circles, an evening where guests come together not only to share an unforgettable meal but to make commitments that change lives, turning an evening into lasting impact.
A gathering of the generous and the curious, held at the exquisite Domaines de Chabran, crafted with the access and care that defines a Satopia collective experience.
"Turn dinner into a force for good, and give in the most joyful way imaginable. That is the promise, and the magic, of the Elkemist."
Elkemist™ is Satopia’s own creation, a philanthropic experience that transforms an extraordinary dinner into extraordinary giving, gathering remarkable people around a single, generous table.
Hosted at the beautiful Domaines de Chabran in the French countryside, it pairs world-class cuisine and company with the Foundation Circles, where guests make commitments that create real, lasting change.
