Paulée Internationale Bad Ragaz: Aperitif and opening of the buffet
An evening based on the French model: uncomplicated, convivial and enjoyable. The buffet offers classic dishes from the Paulée de Meursault tradition. In a relaxed atmosphere, guests share, taste and toast – because each guest brings a special bottle of wine, which is opened with joy among the group. The result is an evening full of generosity, encounters and diversity in the glass.
