100 years of Ölmühle Fandler at Restaurant Krainer
On this evening, we’ll quite deliberately immerse ourselves in oil.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Ölmühle Fandler, we are bringing their exceptional oils out of a supporting role and centre stage in our Wald & Heimat kitchen.
Joining us are Julia Fandler, presenter and gourmet Roland Graf, as well as Christof Winkler-Hermaden, who will accompany our courses with exceptional wines.
