At the magnificent Villa Merian in Münchenstein, Basel, this historic stately home will be transformed into a glamorous runway brimming with pomp, opulence, and Baroque extravagance.

Culinary Delights – Apéro Royal
Culinary delights will also make this evening a feast for the senses: An exquisite aperitif spread will treat guests to the finest creations, ranging from mini cornets with tuna tartare to Caprese arancini with tomato and mozzarella, sautéed Black Tiger shrimp in lemon oil and cucumber rolls with burrata cream, all the way to vegan beet falafel with tahini-lemon cream—a culinary delight in a class of its own.
No glamorous reception would be complete without a welcome aperitif: a glass of Cüpli champagne or, alternatively, a non-alcoholic White Grape Spritz, as well as still and sparkling mineral water available throughout the event. A culinary experience that perfectly complements the glamorous setting of this unique evening.
