Restaurant Zur Rose in St. Michael Eppan is a long-standing address on the South Tyrolean Wine Road, set in a historic house where the name “Rose” has been linked to the building for centuries. Today, chef Herbert Hintner and his wife Margot run the restaurant with a clear idea: regional produce, strict standards, and cooking that updates local tradition through modern technique. The experience is intimate and polished, with seasonal menus that change through the year, including a vegetarian option. It’s a place for guests who come for precision, warmth, and an unmistakably Alto Adige identity.

Herbert Hintner
Chef Herbert Hintner grew up in the Gsies Valley, where food meant festivals, family cooking and ingredients that came straight from the farm. That early sense of authenticity still shapes his work today at Restaurant Zur Rose in St. Michael Eppan, which he runs with his wife Margot.

Modern South Tyrol Cuisine
Herbert Hintner’s cooking starts with the product: milk from the farmer, meat from local farms, vegetables and ingredients chosen for quality and origin. The flavours are recognisable, but the structure is contemporary, built with clean technique and a lot of attention to detail. Hintner often points back to the dishes that shaped him early on, like dumplings and farm cooking, then reworks those memories into plates that feel lighter and more precise. The menu follows the seasons closely, and the kitchen keeps a strong link to the producers of Alto Adige.
Wine with a Local Point of View
Margot Hintner curates the wine list with the same priorities as the kitchen: origin, quality and a clear sense of place. Pairings are chosen to sit naturally alongside Herbert’s seasonal menu, and the cellar reflects years of work and recognition from major guides. The result is a wine experience that feels considered rather than showy, with bottles that underline the region’s strengths and support the flavours on the plate.
Cooking Courses
Alongside service in the restaurant, Herbert Hintner also runs tailored cooking courses. They’re designed for guests who want to understand the thinking behind his cuisine: how he builds flavour, why he chooses specific local products, and how traditional South Tyrolean ideas can be brought into a modern kitchen. Hintner is also known for supporting young talent, and that teaching mindset shows in how these courses are structured: practical, detailed, and centred on real ingredients rather than theory.
“Cooking in a modern key, with lived memories of the past.”
