CineDine: Twenty35 Agency's New Celebrity Supper Club Shines at TIFF 2026

Twenty35 Agency debuted CineDine, an exclusive new celebrity supper club that brought an intimate approach to film festival hospitality during the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival. Offering a private, invitation-only alternative to the traditional red-carpet party circuit, CineDine welcomed acclaimed actors, filmmakers and entertainment industry insiders for a curated series of cast dinners, cocktail receptions and industry celebrations at the newly opened PUNCH at Le Germain Hotel Toronto Mercer. Presented in partnership with Redbreast Irish Whiskey, the inaugural CineDine program hosted four distinctive celebrations surrounding the films BUNKER, HOMBRE AL AGUA and UP AGAINST IT, along with The Creative Coalition Spotlight Awards Dinner. Among the notable guests attending the gatherings were Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Gael García Bernal, Rami Malek, Cole Sprouse, Esmeralda Pimentel, Jorge Salinas, Adam Arkin, Florian Zeller and Eugene Kotlyarenko, alongside other filmmakers, producers and entertainment industry insiders.

As a featured sponsor, Redbreast Irish Whiskey brought its heritage and craftsmanship to CineDine through a premium bar experience and a curated menu of signature cocktails. Guests enjoyed a selection of Redbreast Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey expressions, including Redbreast 12, 15 and 18 Year Old, alongside selections from the brand's Iberian Series. The partnership reflected Redbreast's commitment to craftsmanship, storytelling and bringing people together through conversation and hospitality. Adding a distinctive culinary element, Caviar & Bar Co., Toronto's luxury caviar purveyor, treated VIP guests to an elegant caviar and macaron service during select CineDine celebrations. Château des Charmes, one of Canada's pioneering estate wineries, joined CineDine as its exclusive wine partner, presenting Superior Chardonnay, Superior Cabernet Franc and sparkling wine. Bringing a taste of the Italian countryside to Toronto, Isola Serena, a private luxury villa and estate nestled in the hills of Tuscany's Chianti region, introduced guests to its estate-produced extra virgin olive oil.

The newly opened PUNCH at Le Germain Hotel Toronto Mercer provided an elegant backdrop for CineDine's inaugural series. Dark wood and glass finishes, mahogany detailing, leather banquettes, feather chandeliers, and intimate lighting created a warm, glamorous atmosphere for the gatherings. With this program debut, CineDine introduced a new hospitality platform to the film festival landscape, offering an intimate alternative to large-scale premiere parties. CineDine is an invitation-only film festival supper club created by Twenty35 Agency, bringing together actors, filmmakers, entertainment industry leaders and select guests for intimate dinners, cocktail receptions and private celebrations surrounding major films and cultural moments.
