Created by Bon Jovi and his son Jesse Bongiovi with celebrated French winemaker Gérard Bertrand, Hampton Water brings a taste of Hamptons-style living to the heart of Edinburgh.

Guests can enjoy the award -winning rosé and Hampton Water Bubbly by the glass or bottle, alongside four exclusive cocktails, ideal for long lunches, leisurely afternoons and sundowners.

The cocktail menu includes The Summer House Fizz, combining Hampton Water Bubbly with peach, basil, lemon and soda, finished with an ice lolly for cooling down. The Heatwave Spritz with chilli, honey and watermelon, while the Coastal Rosé and Pink Tide offer two suitably summery takes on Hampton Water Rosé.

The food menu includes East Coast Crisps piled high with smoked salmon, crème fraîche, dill, capers and pickled red onion, with the option to add Arenkha caviar; The Garden Party Crisps which are served with whipped ricotta, parmesan, chilli, chives and truffle oil, with prosciutto.

Guests can enjoy ice cream before dinner, such as artisan gelato from Giacopazzi’s in the Scottish Borders. Flavours include vanilla and traditional tablet, Highland toffee crunch, Perthshire raspberry yoghurt, Amalfi lemon sorbet and whisky and marmalade.

For Edinburgh Festival-goers, Kimpton Charlotte Square will also pop up on Rose Street from 31 July, subject to licence approval, with a dedicated Hampton Water Rosé cart serving chilled rosé cocktails in Capri-Sun-style pouches.

A programme of live music and summer workshops will provide the soundtrack and entertainment throughout the season, creating a weatherproof slice of the Hamptons in the heart of Edinburgh. The Garden Summer House launches at Kimpton Charlotte Square will run until the end of summer.
