Dear Gourmets

More than 2.8 million people live in Schleswig-Holstein, and due to an extraordinary high quality of life, they really enjoy doing so. Much longed-for during the cold time of the year is the Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival. From September to March, Germany’s top celebrity chefs focus on regional products and honour us with their presence, serving culinary masterpieces that are influenced by their different styles. During this, our 23rd, Festival, we welcome the Strandhotel Glücksburg at the Flensburg Fjord as a new partner.

The significance and top-rating of the Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival is emphasized by the fact that some of the very best German chefs, Harald Wohlfahrt, Dieter Müller, and Henri Bach, will be present. Excitement is augmented by the parti-ci­pation of new hot celebrity chefs: 2-star Maître Wolfgang Becker, Frank Buchholz, Franz Feckl, Christian Henze, Achim Schwekendiek, Alexander Schütz, and Paul Urchs. Many new trends are generated in Scandinavia and we are therefore looking forward to welcoming celebrity chefs, such as Rasmus Kofoed and Christian Bind, from Denmark.

We would like to express our special thanks to the company of Audi for their support of our Tour de Gourmet Jeunesse and of the opening event. The "Kooperation Gastliches Wikingland" generates innovative ideas and opens new culinary platforms. Our new brochure is published in German and English, and in the Internet www.gourmetfistival.de also in Danish.

Standard procedure:
  • The festival hotels and restaurants are responsible for the overall gala events
  • The guest chef is cooking with the assistance of the restaurant crew
  • Each gala event features a five-course dinner including all drinks at 128 Euros per person
  • Reservations can only be made through the participating hotel/restaurant
  • The Opening Event on 6 September in the Maritim Seehotel is priced at 135 Euros

I wish you a healthy appetite
