Regional organic cheese – Hatzenstädt Cheese Dairy

Cheese production has a long-standing tradition in Kufsteinerland. Cheese has been produced since the Middle Ages at many of the mountain farms in Tyrol. The first documented mention of cheese production on the Niederndorferberg dates back to the year 1224. The Hatzenstädt organic cheese dairy has been so called since the year 1480. It committed itself to producing high quality products using only regional raw materials at an early stage. The milk from the meadows is transported directly to the cheese dairy by lift.
Tours of the regional Hatzenstädt organic cheese dairy on the Niederndorferberg can be arranged in advance. This also includes a chance to sample the products.

Plangger Cheese Dairy

High quality cheese production starts with the basic material, the milk. The natural and gentle farming of the land, the careful drying of the hay and the use of efficient microorganisms in the stables, field and cheese dairy guarantee the highest quality milk production and processing. The production and finishing of the organic hay-milk cheese specialities at the Plangger Cheese Dairy in Niederndorf take place in a rock cellar. Possible programme: visit to the rock cellar followed by a snack.

Creative beer – tour of the brewery from Bierol

Christoph Bichler, Maximilian Karner and Marko Nikolic brew their own beer in Tyrol or more precisely, in Schwoich in Kufsteinerland. They produce an exceptional so-called craft beer which is made by hand. The three crazy beer brewers have been shaking up the Austrian craft beer scene since 2014. Their motto: “Barriers are there to be overcome”. And they do just that. They have conjured up some exceptional beer creations with Number One, Mountain Pale Ale, Going Hazelnuts and The Padawan. And at the same time, they have stayed true to their Tyrolean roots. Possible programme: tour of the brewery, beer tasting and snack together in the guest lounge / guest garden.

Schnapps tasting at the Schmider

The old farmhouse dating from 1536 in the centre of the town of Ebbs, one of the eight picturesque towns in Kufsteinerland, is home to a schnapps distillery. The distillery has been under family ownership for at least five generations. Albert Schmider lovingly restored the building and set up the schnapps distillery here. He will take you on a trip into the world of quality spirits.

Flavour experiences at the Kronbühelhof

160 pear, plum and apple trees form the basis for the exquisite brandies produced by Manfred Höck in Schwoich. Try the pine blossom, ‘Egascht’ (the first hay harvest of the year) or honey & ginger. And there are many of other varieties available to sample at the production site too.

Lords’ feast

Dinner is served. The Lords’ feast at the fortress is a culinary and adventure-packed highlight in Kufsteinerland. The master of the kitchens will serve up plenty of treats from the kitchens and cellar, by prior arrangement. The Lords’ feast and its ‘simple’ ceremony involves arriving by torch light, washing the hands and reading out the table etiquette and set menu. 10 people or more can attend. During the course of an ‘extensive’ Lords’ feast, you will have the chance to experience a sophisticated banquet with artists and musicians with stylish costumes and instruments. Our artists will take you on an entertaining journey back in time and the Lords’ feast will provide an unforgettable experience with atmospheric music, mediaeval games and tricks. Have you made your choice?

Auracher Löchl | Restaurant and Tradition

Kufstein Fortress behind you, the Inn at your feet and the mountains right in front of your eyes! Numerous culinary opportunities are waiting for you in Auracher Löchl, in the smallest old town in Austria. The restaurant, which has been around since 1409, looks back upon a historic past and even today, in spite of all the modernisation, the core, traditional element of the building has been retained.

From nature to the kitchen - swing the wooden spoons!

She is young, she is lively like her whisk and an integral part of high-quality, local gastronomy. Viktoria Fahringer is bubbling with ideas and lives for the enjoyment. A passion that she now passes on in cooking classes. "It is important to me that every participant goes home with the" aha effect "and was able to enjoy cooking even more," says the ambitious head chef at the Tiroler Hof gourmet hostel. What is in season is cooked and is currently available in high quality on the market. You will use what Viktoria Fahringer's allotment has to offer and what grows in the forest and meadows. Apart from the enthusiasm for cooking, there is nothing to be brought along. And if a part of your team has something else in the meantime, you can exchange ideas in the evening with a suitable wine accompaniment.
