Miele To Host Exclusive Dining Experience with Chefs Kyle Connaughton and Norbert Niederkofler

Miele, the largest German family-owned premium appliance manufacturer is set to host an exclusive collaborative dining experience with Chefs Kyle Connaughton of Michelin Three Star and Green Star restaurant, SingleThread, located in Healdsburg, CA and Chef Norbert Niederkofler, of Michelin Three Star and Green Star restaurant, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler and owner of AlpiNN Food Space and Restaurant, located in Brunico, Italy. The experience, which will take place at Chef Connaughton’s SingleThread will be in celebration of the brand’s sustainable video series, “Stories from Our Only Home,” which was created in partnership with the chefs.

The dining experience will take place on October 3 and 5, 2024 in Healdsburg, CA. Attendees will enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime meal that brings together the art of sustainable agriculture with culinary excellence. The globally renowned chefs will bring the video series to life through a collaborative tasting menu that showcases their Michelin-Star gastronomic talent. Chef Niederkofler and his team will bring the flavors of the Dolomites to Sonoma County with their new concept, "Atelier Norbert Niederkofler Temporary." In addition to the multi-course meal, guests will have the opportunity to tour SingleThread Farms, experience Miele appliances first-hand and view the “Stories From Our Only Home” video series.

“’Stories From Our Only Home’ is merely a taste of all that Miele represents in terms of sustainability,” said Søren Rye, President and CEO Miele USA and Mexico. “We are proud to host this collaborative dining experience and blend the exquisite cuisine of both chefs as they come together to honor the same sustainable values that the Miele brand has upheld for the last 125 years.”

The video series acknowledges the importance of the planet, people and produce – most importantly, promoting the importance of sustainability in and out of the kitchen. Together, the Chefs uphold a promise for positive change and ever-evolving improvement for the environment.

“My team’s ‘Cook the Mountain’ philosophy advocates for sustainability through the ethical sourcing and cooking of ingredients,” said Chef Norbert Niederkofler. “Mirroring the Miele brand promise of achieving quality without compromise with products that last, I am relentless in my pursuit of meaningful innovation – to perform better with less and avoid waste.” 

“By embracing biodiversity in all forms, we avoid food waste and non-renewable energy consumption,” said Chef Kyle Connaughton. “What makes SingleThread so special is that we source our produce directly from our own farm. ‘Stories From Our Only Home’ shares this impactful message in a beautifully realistic way, in an effort to encourage these small changes all can implement.”

This socially-conscious culinary journey will continue with additional activities coinciding with the global “Stories From Our Only Home” campaign which will run digitally across Miele social media platforms through the end of the 2024.
