Impressions of 26th Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival
|
We invite you to 
31 unparalleled culinary highlights at the 26th Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival. Our hospitable partner hotels and restaurants are prepared to offer the very best of everything with prestigious guest chefs de cuisine whose different cuisine styles will more than live up to their reputation. You, our distinguished gourmet guests, the high-spirited celebrity-filled settings, and extensive media coverage are the decisive factors for also attracting new guest chefs de cuisine to Germany’s oldest Gourmetfestival. This year’s festival debutants are the only South Tyrolean star chef Anna Matscher as well as Boris Benecke, Hans Horberth, and Andrée Köthe. Germany’s elite chefs are represented by Harald Wohlfahrt and Sven Elverfeld followed by Henri Bach, Wolfgang Becker, Thomas Martin, Alexandro Pape, Marco Müller, Nelson Müller, André Großfeld, Michael Kempf, and Scharff. And each year, the gala menu culminates in an interactive dessert party. Our Tour de Gourmet Jeunesse for those under 35 has become a main attraction and is carried out with the assistance of our Audi car partner. Also participating is our new partner: the ”Gutsküche”, headed by Rebecca & Matthias Gfrörer - that will enrich our Festival. For the first time in our 26 year history, we refrain from our uniform price policy and leave it up to each partner to decide on the price of the 5-course menu incl. beverages, ranging from 140 – 185 Euro.

Dear Guests, 
This year, the Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival is taking place for the 26th time and has become the culinary highlight in the North of Germany. Not only is the festival guaranteeing all participating gourmets heavenly culinary delights, it is also reflecting and representing the exceptional standards of North Germany’s gastronomy. The exquisite products of our region, the outstanding creations of starred elite chefs as well as perfect presentation and service by the partner hotels – and all of this in perfect symbiosis – make the Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival a unique highlight. You may look forward to a range of different cooking styles and a delicious dessert party that made everyone’s taste buds dance last year. As the Danish Consul General, I am particularly proud of the participation of Danish star-chef Kenneth Hansen. This is proof of mutual inspiration – or in other words: “mutual culinary goodwill between neighbours”. I wish you, dear Guests, memorable moments and the Festival great success.
