Presentations were made regarding the B7’s technical subtleties, deep insights were given into ALPINA’s unique and storied history, and the distinctive philosophy of this small family-run business from Buchloe was explored.  All this was framed by the American event agency Emotive using ALPINA’s second business venture as the backdrop: wine.  The very finest wines from California’s best winemakers were served with dinner at the private The Napa Valley Reserve, each wine and each bottle naturally introduced and elucidated by the vintners themselves, supported by ALPINA’s head of wine.

All in all a very successful event:  the finest example of the ALPINA lifestyle, coupled with a vehicle created for the most demanding of automotive connoisseurs.
