Item Description

Everyone, once in their lifetime, should experience the extravagance and richness of true elegance. The French Laundry, once operated as a French Steam Laundry in the 1920’s, is world-renowned for its classic French cuisine, made with the finest quality ingredients, and the staff’s devotion to impeccable guest service. Since its inception in 1990, the restaurant has received numerous honors and accolades. Most recently, the Michelin Guide San Francisco awarded The French Laundry their highest rating of three stars for the sixth year in a row, making Thomas Keller the only American-born chef to have two three-starred Michelin restaurants. This highly coveted restaurant is quite arguably the most famous restaurant in the world, a reputation that makes reservations near impossible to achieve. Now your name will be on Thomas Keller’s short list- you will receive the exclusive Silver Card Experience, which allows you to get a reservation within a couple short weeks of calling. You will also receive a guided tour through the French Laundry gardens, where some of the finest ingredients in the world are grown.  Then you will be led through the kitchen where you will see an impressive lineup of culinary tools. You may also see chef’s prepping food for that night’s dinner.

Then it will be time for you to relax and enjoy the evening. With only one dinner service an evening, you will not be rushed through your complimentary glasses of champagne and 9-course Chef’s Tasting Menu. You will be able to savor every last detail of every immaculately prepared dish. Afterwards, you will receive a French Laundry cookbook, signed by Thomas Keller, as a keepsake for this incredible experience.

But that’s not all… As if this package couldn’t get any better, you will receive a complimentary VIP driving service, provided by French Laundry, who will pick you up in a BMW Hybrid 7 Series custom built for The French Laundry, and bring you back to your hotel. You will receive a one-night stay at Silverado Resort & Spa. Relax in a Cottage Resort at this historic homestead with outstanding amenities, including pristine pools and tennis courts, incredible farm-to-table dining, lush greenery, gardens, a luxurious spa and championship courses all around.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. This is your chance to divulge in an evening of extraordinary elegance like never before!
