Culinary Tour through the Berchtesgadener Advent

Feast, stroll and marvel

A stroll right across the Berchtesgadener Advent – and discover the finest sides of Bavarian culinary culture along the way. At various stations we sample five small, hearty dishes and enjoy three mulled wines to go with them.

But it’s not only about feasting: as we stroll together across the Christmas market, we serve up entertaining anecdotes about Berchtesgaden, its history and its lively traditions between the treats – stories that are guaranteed not to be found in any travel guide.

A note for all plant lovers

This tour is traditionally Bavarian through and through – and hearty treats and sausage specialities are simply part of it. We are therefore unfortunately unable to offer a vegetarian or vegan version. When it comes to mulled wine, however, you are welcome to leave the tipsiness at home: alcohol-free alternatives are available.

So: hat on, bring an appetite, and off we go!

Together we’ll taste our way through the Berchtesgadener Advent – with plenty of enjoyment, stories and pre-Christmas fun.
