relais & châteaux rosengarten, kirchberg, austria

Six brilliant reasons why you should take a holiday at the Relais & Châteaux Rosengarten in the Kitzbühel Alps:1) Lush Alpine meadows, 2) Fresh, clean air, 3) Unparalleled culinary delights, 4) Casual, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, 5) Stunning mountain backdrop, 6) Supreme peace and tranquillity.

Brilliant indeed: when we ask our guests why they chose to stay with us in Kirchberg, these are the most frequent-ly named reasons. This is as good to hear as it is true: because the Kitzbühel Alps really are the ideal destination for discerning holidaymakers. The region has so much to offer: fabulous, exclusi-ve golf courses, a spot of lakeside ’dolce far niente‘, and the Tyrolean mountains’ almost limitless leisure opportunities.

This year’s summer is packed full of tempting events, and we have taken it upon ourselves to pick three that are par-ticularly interesting: Firstly, there is the open-air concert with opera star Elina Garanca – a must for all classical music fans: the Latvian mezzo-soprano and her

husband Karl Mark Chichon make a guest appearance at the ’Klassik in den Alpen‘ open-air concert event in Kitzbühel. Then we celebrate the beautiful game of golf with two tournament dates in this year‘s Rosengarten Gourmet Golf Trophy.

Another event that is very close to our hearts is the first ’Simon Taxacher‘s Ku-linartika 2015‘ gourmet festival, which will take place in Kirchberg in October. The name of the game will be ’Kirchberg cooks up a storm‘. Feel free to take this literally, because all of the hotels and restaurants will be getting together to show off everything our culinary region

has to offer. For four days the Kirchberg and Aschau region will focus entirely on fine cuisine. Five celebrity chefs from across Austria have confirmed their attendance, and invite you to a grand gourmet dinner. We can already reveal that Michelin-starred chef Konstantin Fi-lippou is due to join Simon in the kitchen of Restaurant Simon Taxacher. The fes-tival programme includes show cook-ing, a tasting of local delicacies, and the Sonnbergmeile culinary festival. What a feast for the senses!

We look forward to your arrival!Simon Taxacher & Sandra Kobald

BOLLINGER GALA EVENING HOSTED BY GRANDS CHEFS SIMON TAXACHER & HOLGER BODENDORF The Bollinger Gala at the Relais & Châteaux Rosengarten in Kirchberg was the culinary highlight of the 75th Hahnenkamm Races. Award-winning chef Simon Taxa-cher and Michelin-starred chef Holger Bodendorf from Germany hooked up with the renowned Champagne house of Bollinger to host a grand dinner. This was followed by a world première: master watchmaker Wilhelm Rieber launched his ’chronometer Tourbillon‘ - a handmade watch with flying tourbillon and chronometer escapement: the first of its kind in the world. ’The North Frisian and the Tyrolean, the North Sea island of Sylt and the Kitzbühel Alps - at first glance, they seem to have little in com-mon. Yet we share a passion for Mediterranean cuisine, a long-standing friendship, and a deep enthusiasm for our homeland. Fine sandy beaches and the sound of the waves collide with mountain air and the echoes of the Alpine mountainscape. Once more this proved to be an exceptionally inspiring combination for this year‘s culinary creations‘, said Simon Taxacher.

The 6-course menu left nothing to be desired. Accompanied by select vintages of Bollinger Champagne, the two Grands Chefs‘ culinary assortment included Bresse pigeon, pumpkin, Carabinero prawns, sea bass, Garimori Ibérico ham and Dulcey Valrhona chocolate. Karl-Frédéric Reuter, Bollinger‘s export manager, presented some extraordinary Champagnes, including La Grande Année 2004, Récemment Dégorgé 2002 and La Côte aux Enfants of 2009.

In addition to the culinary highlights, guests enjoyed an exclusive world première: master watchmaker Wilhelm Rieber and his wife came to Kirchberg to present his entirely hand-made ’chronometer Tourbillon‘. It is the world’s first ever wristwatch with flying tourbillon and chronometer escapement. ’The big challenge‘, Rieber exp-lained, ’was to reduce the fine and highly complicated chronometer escapement to the dimension of a wristwatch.‘

RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX GOURMET FESTIVAL IN KRAKOW

Guest performance at the Copernicus Restaurant in the Relais & Châteaux Hotel Copernicus - Following an invitation from the Likus family and Maître de Maison Joanna Wilgierz, Simon Taxacher and Marcin Filipkiewicz opened the Relais & Châ-teaux Gourmet Festival in Krakow. The combination of these two different styles of cooking produced an unparalleled dining experience, which met with huge acclaim. The Relais & Châteaux Hotel Copernicus in Krakow is an architectural gem with fres-coes, priceless paintings and inscriptions dating from back to 1500.

COMBINED PASSIONS

Passion, excitement, pleasure, perfection – these are all qualities that Ralf Berends-en, chef at the Restaurant La Source in the Relais & Châteaux La Butte aux Bois in Lanaken and Simon Taxacher have in common – much to the delight of the guests at the Relais & Châteaux Gourmet Festival! The summit meeting of these two exceptional players was celebrated in style: Char with cucumber and miso was followed by exqui-sitely prepared goose liver. There was lobster and pumpkin that had been flavoured with the North African Ras el hanout spice mix, and Tyrolean Alpine beef with historic turnip varieties and cottage cheese provided a nod in the direction of traditional Aus-trian cuisine, but with Simon Taxacher‘s distinctive style and lightness of touch.

PARTY TIME WITH FRIENDS

Party Time with Friends at the Relais & Châteaux Ro-sengarten is a very speci-al event: every year, Simon Taxacher‘s suppliers showca-se their products at a gour-met market where guests can sample all sorts of superb produce. This included Simon Taxacher‘s first wine - made by Hartmut Aubell from the Styrian Rebenhof estate.
