Auction
Silent Auction
Guests have the opportunity to bid on a selection of rare and large-format wine bottles, as well as luxury tabletop and gourmet items, in a silent auction during cocktails.
Live Auction (as of April 10)
The culinary fantasy of fantasies is to have a star chef prepare dinner for you and your friends, right in your very own home. For this one-of-a-kind culinary auction, Daniel Boulud is offering just that in the name of the award-winning chefs of each of his four New York City restaurants. Just imagine a star chef whipping up a tour-de-force tasting menu in your kitchen (the very same one you usually use to re-heat take-out Chinese). Pick up a few cooking tips along the way, or just sit back and enjoy the fireworks. Boulud’s renowned Wine Director Daniel Johnnes will provide expert wine pairings to complete your menu. Impeccable white glove table service will be supplied by Daniel Boulud’s Feast & Fêtes Catering.
