Endless Champagne & Caviar Tastings

At the heart of the celebration are two unmatched luxuries—Champagne and Caviar. Guests will enjoy free-flowing glasses of premium bubbles sourced from top vineyards in Champagne, France. Each sip is designed to be perfectly paired with spoonfuls of exquisite caviar, locally produced in Switzerland.

Expect curated tastings that elevate your senses:
