Alpine Picnic
WHERE: Chalet Bastian, Vallée de Joux
Global Associate Partner of Art Basel, Swiss Haute Horologie brand Audemars Piguet treated collectors, clients and friends during Art Basel week to a countryside lunch in the scenic Vallée de Joux. Nestled in the Swiss Jura mountains, the area has been home to the watch brand since 1875. Guests were welcomed with the sounds of Swiss long horns, champagne and a pass around aperetif of flute au fromage d'alpage while enjoying the pristine hillside views. A splendid lunch awaited indoors accompanied by charming rustic table settings. On the menu: a salad of white asparagus, chilled pea and mint soup, wood fire oven-roasted chicken and raspberry tart with double crème de la Gruyère.
