The taste of the year

Inspiration from nature and the season
What does autumn smell like? What does winter taste like? How does spring feel on the palate?
Our culinary calendar invites you to rediscover the seasons with all your senses. Each month, a seasonal theme takes centre stage – from mushrooms to game, asparagus and summer fruits to street food from around the world. The menus at Schloss Gabelhofen are a tribute to nature and the region, freshly interpreted and served with a fine sense of flavours, textures and moods.
In addition to the individual delicacies on the menu, head chef Alexander Thiele and his team create exclusive tasting menus with – if you wish – perfectly matched wine pairings:
- 3 courses: € 50 per person
- 4 courses: € 70 per person
- 5 courses: € 85 per person
- Wine pairing optional: € 45 per person
Experience the taste of the seasons month after month – stylish, surprising and unforgettable.
