Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection Will Welcome Chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park For Exclusive Collaboration
Gardiner, NY (PRWEB) August 02, 2023 -- Hudson Valley's award-winning resort and culinary destination, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection, is welcoming three Michelin starred Eleven Madison Park for a one-of-a-kind, plant-based dining experience with the resort's Executive Chef Rob Lawson over the Columbus Day holiday weekend October 6-9, 2023. Part of the brand’s Taste of Auberge program, the immersive weekend will include unforgettable epicurean experiences, exclusive shopping events with Eleven Madison Home, and exceptional new menu items at the resort's signature restaurant, Clay. The electrifying partnership will celebrate vegetable-forward cuisine through curated special dinners and experiences highlighting the intersection of taste, sound, and seasonal beauty.
“This special collaboration has been years in the making,” said Kristin Soong Rapoport, co-owner of Wildflower Farms. “Conversations in the restaurant and trips Upstate have revealed the shared passions of these world-class teams. We are thrilled to be able to offer guests a rare window into the creative relationship between Chef and Farmer.”
In 2021, Eleven Madison Park reopened with an entirely plant-based tasting menu, becoming the first to be awarded three Michelin stars as a vegan restaurant. Inspired to extend a guest’s experience outside of the restaurant, Chef Humm and his team created Eleven Madison Home. This boutique retail brand specializes in plant-based kitchen essentials and hand-crafted homewares designed and used by the chefs and team at Eleven Madison Park.
“We are truly honored to have an opportunity to partner with an exceptional talent such as Chef Daniel Humm to bring such a special dining experience to Wildflower Farms,” commented Tom Donovan, General Manager, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection. “A dynamic collaboration steps away from our bountiful farm in the heart of Hudson Valley feels like the perfect way to celebrate the end of harvest season. Chef Humm’s deep understanding of New York produce is invaluable and inspiring, and we are looking forward to offering our guests this one-of-a-kind experience.”
The weekend events will start with a unique botanical mixology class that will include kitchen essentials from Eleven Madison Home, followed by a la carte menu specials curated by Chef Humm, featuring famed Eleven Madison Park and Eleven Madison Home creations alongside Clay’s full dinner menu. Attendees will taste signature dishes made with ingredients grown on the property’s farm, using specialty produce from the two restaurants’ shared purveyor, Norwich Meadows Farm.
On Saturday afternoon, Maplehouse, the resort’s cooking school and farm education center, will host a private plant-based cooking demonstration and conversation with Chef Humm and his team, where guests will learn to prepare a meal in this once-in-a-lifetime, intimate experience. Following the class, guests will indulge in the charming ambiance of Maplehouse with a lunch featuring freshly picked ingredients from the farm. That evening, Clay will host a six-course, pre-fixe dinner experience co-created by chefs Robert Lawson and Daniel Humm.
To conclude the weekend, guests can join NOFA’s Farmer of the Year, Zaid Kurdieh of Norwich Meadows Farm, for a culinary adventure as they stroll the resort’s namesake nine-acre farm and forage for the freshest seasonal produce. The esteemed Zaid Kurdieh will bestow his expertise, reflecting on seasonal offerings and helping with farm education throughout the weekend.
Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection will welcome Chef Daniel Humm between October 6-9, 2023. This exclusive culinary package will only be available for hotel guests. The ‘Taste of Auberge with Daniel Humm’ packages start at $1,809+ per night and include access to the weekend’s culinary events and select wellness experiences.
