regalement
Sumptuous hospitality offered
Regalement is the act of entertaining lavishly or providing great pleasure, particularly through food, drink, or storytelling.
The word carries an old-fashioned formality: The evening's regalement included fine wines and elaborate toasts.
It suggests generous hospitality—feasting and amusement offered to honored guests.
