Red Rooster South Tyrol

A holiday at one of the over 1,600 local farms is undoubtedly a great option all year round. In spring and summer, you can watch nature awaken from its winter slumber as the meadows come into bloom and work begins in the fields, orchards, and vineyards. As the days grow longer, it’s prime gardening season: weeding, planting, hoeing, and sowing take centre stage on the farms, as the house and herb gardens are brought back into shape after winter.

In autumn, it’s time for the harvest. On farms with livestock, the animals return from their summer on the mountain pastures and enjoy the last warm days on the surrounding fields.

In winter, you can bask in the cosy warmth of the farmhouse parlour and listen to old stories told by the farmers on long winter nights. Meanwhile, the farm women spoil you with delicious products harvested in autumn and stored for the colder season.

But Red Rooster is more than just farm holidays. The brands “Quality products,” “Farmhouse inns,” “Farmhouse handcrafts,” and the “Red Rooster Cookery School” also belong to this quality seal. They all point toward the travel trend of the future: “Red Rooster” stands for quality, tradition, nature, culinary enjoyment, and an authentic travel experience.

The heart of these events is the seasonal raw produce from South Tyrolean farms. In close collaboration with the cooking school’s chefs, menus are developed according to the time of year. The ingredients list depends on what the surrounding farms currently have available.

These farm products are prepared according to age-old recipes, but with a fresh, innovative twist, resulting in four dishes that perfectly complement one another.

During the culinary evening, participants are guided by selected chefs who are intimately familiar with South Tyrol’s regional cuisine. In the kitchen, they explain each step in detail, offering new inspiration for both familiar and lesser-known dishes, as well as handy tips and tricks.

Anyone who wishes to can lend a hand. After each dish is ready, all the guests sit down together to enjoy what they have prepared themselves, paired with a suitable wine. Then it’s on to the next course, and a total of four courses will be created and savoured.

The cooking events take place at Föhrnerhof, just a few minutes above Bozen. There, Red Rooster – together with farmer Karin Bracchetti and her family – welcomes guests in the historic parlours of the former “Buschenschank” (farm tavern).
