The Core: Why the Vinschgau Valley Is the Foundation

The key question was: Why return to Vinschgau? The answer lies in the combination of Alpine precision and the highest-quality, often undiscovered, regional products. This place has a profound influence on my cuisine and the philosophy behind Taste the Heights.

  1. After all these years of experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, it just feels right to be here in Vinschgau. The connection to my homeland and to local producers is priceless.

    I'm curious: What do you appreciate most about the cuisine and products from our region? And what topic should I explore in detail next in my journal?
