Swiss catering term
This is from a list of events in a Swiss company.
I gather that an apéro is a drinks reception, but does this mean this is a farewell party (for example for a colleague)?

German term (edited):
Abschiedsap�ro
farewell drinks party
English equivalent i think may be the good old cheese and wine party, a booze-up is too informal!

Daniel Bird
: A farewell something - depending on how formal, it might just be a "drink". As we say in England - "Glaze your a***s"

German term (edited):
Abschiedsap�ro
farewell soiree
Depending on the scope of the event, I think "soiree" could be applicable (as it hints at the alcohol element without sounding too boisterous)
