The Alsace Express

Your evening of indulgence begins and ends at your front door. A private limousine will be at your disposal for the entire night, picking up your group of six and whisking you between destinations, allowing you to enjoy the world-class wine pairings without a care in the world.

Your culinary adventure kicks off at the Sunnyvale home of Linda Wang & Albert Huntington. Here, your hosts and duo chefs Linda and Albert will serve the quintessential Alsatian starter: Flammekueche, also known as Tarte Flambée in French or Flammkuchen in German! This paper-thin, wood-fired flatbread, topped with creamy fromage blanc, smoked lardons, and delicate onions, will be served alongside a crisp salad of seasonal vegetables to perfectly balance the richness.

The limousine will then chauffeur you to the elegant Los Altos Hills residence of Andrea Li & Olivier Crémel for the evening's centerpiece. Our own INTL chef Véronique Micha takes the reins in the kitchen to prepare the legendary Baeckeoffe. This "Baker’s Oven" stew is a masterpiece of slow-cooking, featuring a marinated trio of beef, pork, and lamb layered with sliced potatoes and fused together in a traditional ceramic terrine.

The grand finale from chef Véronique is a creative twist on a regional icon: Kouglof Glacé. This refreshing, chilled interpretation of the classic crown cake provides a sophisticated, five-star finish to your meal.

A tasteful affair of this magnitude requires an expert hand. Your sommeliers for the evening, Boris Micha and Albert Huntington, will hand-select and provide exceptional wine pairings for the entire meal. From Crément, Riesling Grand Cru, Gewurztrazminer Vendanges Tardives, Pinot Gris Grand Cru, and Pinot Noir, every pour is designed to elevate the authentic flavors of Alsace.

Once the final glass is enjoyed, your limousine will be waiting to deliver you and your guests safely back to your homes.
