Falstaff and Davidoff: Discover The Art of blending

Event
Fine Dining

As summer comes to a close, Falstaff & Davidoff will explore how subtle nuances interact. Gourmets can expect insights into the art of blending: precisely coordinated flavors, balanced compositions and the search for sensory balance.

August and September are all about the art of blending – with Falstaff and Davidoff teaming up for numerous culinary events dedicated to the sensitive interplay of flavors, textures and precision craftsmanship throughout Europe. The menu created for this purpose explores the myriad possibilities of fine taste nuances. It's not about dramatic effect, but rather harmony. The courses reference each other without overlapping, focusing on the balance between temperature, consistency and culinary expression. The concept of the dinner is therefore: open in interpretation, precise in implementation.

Gourmet lunch at the Epicure Festival

On September 13, the anniversary edition of the renowned Epicure festival in Switzerland will feature a very special afternoon for gourmets. An expert from Graham's port wine will guide participants through the composition of a blend where precision meets individual nuances. This voyage of discovery is accompanied by champagne from Henri Giraud and caviar from Sense of Delight, whose fine aromas, origin and craftsmanship are harmoniously revealed.

The afternoon will conclude with a 6-hand lunch crafted by Nick Bril, Kirk Westaway and Heiko Nieder: Three different culinary styles come together for a menu characterized by precision and balance. Each course follows a clear concept where flavors, textures and temperature are carefully coordinated.
