Audi of America and 1 Hotels will soon present Driven by the Journey, An Evening with SingleThread, an exclusive three-night dining experience taking place October 22-24 at the new 1 Hotel Austin in Austin, Texas. The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix weekend experience will feature a five-course menu from the three-Michelin-starred restaurant SingleThread. The dinner series offers guests a distinctive culinary experience during one of Austin’s biggest weekends of the year.

“Driven by nature and fueled by a sense of place, our team at SingleThread is always seeking new ways to introduce guests to the land to form a connection that goes beyond our dining room and kitchen,” said SingleThread Owner-Chef Kyle Connaughton. “We share an aligned mission with Audi, and now the newly opened 1 Hotel Austin.”
Founded by Chef Kyle and Katina Connaughton, SingleThread, Audi’s Official Automotive Partner, has earned international acclaim for its integrated approach to farming, hospitality and dining. The three-Michelin-starred Sonoma County destination will bring its signature attention to detail and seasonal perspective to the Austin experience through an exclusive five-course menu.

As a mission-driven luxury lifestyle hotel brand, 1 Hotels cultivates sustainable design and architecture, together with extraordinary comfort and a excellent service. As 1 Hotels’ first property in Texas, 1 Hotel Austin is set within the 74-story Waterline, the tallest tower in the state.
The event coincides with an expanded partnership between Audi and 1 Hotels, continuing Audi’s role as the Official Automotive Partner of all U.S. 1 Hotels properties and extending the relationship to the newly opened 1 Hotel Austin.

Beyond race weekend, Audi will be integrated into the guest experience at 1 Hotel Austin through house-car service and curated local drives, creating new opportunities for guests to explore the city during their stay. The Austin property joins Audi’s larger partnership with 1 Hotels across the U.S., where guests can experience the brand through house-car programs and local excursions.
