JRE x Mastercard Gala Dinner: A Culinary Showcase
Nestled within Bavaria’s grand baroque legacy, Neues Schloss Schleissheim stands as one of the most remarkable architectural masterpieces of its time. Originally built in the early 18th century as a summer retreat for the Wittelsbach dynasty, the palace embodies an era where design was meant to inspire, impress, and elevate the senses. From its richly decorated halls, dramatic staircases and the renowned grand galery, the neues schloss offers more than just a beautiful setting, it creates an atmosphere where history and artistry converge.
Within these historic walls, Mastercard hosted an exclusive gala dinner where tradition and modern culinary artistry came together. Guests were welcomed into an atmosphere where craftsmanship, culture, and fine dining seamlessly intertwined.
A Menu That Honors Craft and Creativity
The evening was curated by three German Michelin-starred JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs chefs, each contributing a dish that paid homage to the essence of German culinary artistry:
Maurizio Oster presented a masterfully balanced charred confit trout, smoke & sour cream, celery, herbs & buttermilk. A perfect harmony of textures and flavors.
The dish was paired with the wine Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Forster Kirchenstück G.C., Riesling Trocken 2020, or a non-alcoholic elderberry & almond milk foam.
Anton Schmaus followed with an exquisite main course featuring Bavarian Wagyu beef with cucumber, watermelon & pear, accompanied by a vegetarian alternative of May beet baked in salt crust, cucumber & watermelon.
The richness of the dish was elevated by the wine Spätburgunder 2017 "Im Sonnenschein", Rebholz, or a non-alcoholic salted cherry juice with kombu vinegar.
Iris Bettinger concluded the experience with a dessert that celebrated both nostalgia and seasonal freshness: strawberry, elderflower & sweet woodruff.
This delicate composition was complemented by the wine 2022 Spätburgunder Rosé Auslese, Arndt Köbelin Weingut, or a vibrant non-alcoholic apple, strawberry & elderflower juice blend.
