Just before the London Kauffman Summit, join us for an intimate and unforgettable two-day journey through Luxembourg City and its stunning surroundings. Though small in size, Luxembourg boasts an outsized charm - Europe’s financial centre today where centuries of history meet refined modern living.
We’ll begin with a guided tour of the city’s legendary fortress, Europe’s largest - founded in 963 and nicknamed ‘Gibraltar of the North’ - a UNESCO World Heritage site whose ramparts and casemates and fairy tales tell centuries of stories. Stroll cobbled streets, admire sweeping views, the royal palace, and feel the unique blend of medieval grandeur and modern sophistication.
In the evening, relax with a private BBQ at my home and some guests from the tech ecosystem - great food, fine beer, and warm company in a relaxed setting.
Day two takes us to the Moselle wine region, where vineyards roll down to the river’s edge. At an iconic viewpoint where Luxembourg, Germany, and France meet and Europe’s borders have been abolished, we’ll enjoy a curated tasting of Crémants and aromatic whites.
A perfect mix of history, culture, and conviviality—this is Luxembourg at its most unforgettable.
