Villa of Taste – the culinary event of the year!

Fokke Mick, head chef of the Atlantic Restaurant at the historic Hotel Atlantic Hamburg, is traveling from Hamburg. His culinary career has taken him through renowned establishments in the world of fine dining, including several Michelin-starred kitchens. Today, he combines classic French cuisine with North German culinary traditions and a modern, precise style. He now holds a Michelin star of his own. His dishes embody elegance, clarity, and the highest quality. Learn more about Fokke, the restaurant, and, of course, the Atlantic at https://www.atlantic.de/

Adding an international flair are the guest chefs from the renowned Swiss luxury hotels Fairmont Montreux Palace and Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, who are bringing their culinary expertise from the international luxury hospitality industry exclusively to Königstein. You can find out more about the best of the “Capital of Jazz” at https://www.fairmont.com/de/hotels/montreux/fairmont-le-montreux-palace.html, as well as at https://brhhh.com/suisse-majestic/.

The sweet highlight of the evening will be provided by Lucia Kranz, who has perfected her passion for pâtisserie in some of Germany’s finest kitchens. Her extraordinary desserts combine delicate craftsmanship with surprising flavors and impressively demonstrate that pâtisserie is far more than just the crowning finale of a meal—it is an experience in its own right. You can see the sweet treats at: https://luciakranz.de/ Together with the culinary leaders at Villa Rothschild and the kitchen crew from its sister hotel, the Falkenstein Grand, a festival of indulgence is taking shape that combines top-quality regional products, international inspiration, and exceptional culinary artistry at a distinctive level. A special highlight awaits guests in the beautiful late-summer weather at Villa Rothschild’s Open Air Grilltable. Launched just this summer, the concept has already become a crowd favorite, bringing the finest in grilling to the Rothschild Park Terrace in a unique atmosphere. Should a few drops of rain fall, we’ll find something else to do. Either way, you’re sure to enjoy it.

An equally important part of Villa of Taste is the carefully curated selection of beverages. Select top winemakers from Villa Rothschild’s long-standing network of partners will personally present their wines and invite you to discover different vintages, grape varieties, and styles. Will there be elegant Rieslings, characterful Burgundies, or expressive international cuvées? We’ll see—the wines are deliberately paired with the evening’s culinary creations and consistently offer new taste experiences. Beyond wine, a high-quality beverage concept awaits you. Fine sparkling wines, select aperitifs, long drinks, and non-alcoholic accompaniments round out the selection and ensure that every bite and beat is perfectly complemented. The winemakers and hosts will be happy to engage in personal conversations, offer recommendations, and share fascinating insights into their philosophy and the origins of their wines—all in the spirit of a relaxed evening of indulgence, where cuisine, hospitality, and socializing take center stage in equal measure.

Musically, too, the evening promises to be extraordinary: The stylishly curated DJ sets are the result of an exclusive collaboration between Villa Rothschild and Romanfabrik Frankfurt, along with its artistic director, Gregor Praml. Look forward to an atmospheric soundtrack blending lounge, groove, and club culture, as well as an energetic live performance by Vassily Dück and Gregor Praml, who will create the perfect setting for an enjoyable evening with plenty of bass and musical sophistication. The evening’s artistic performances are also not to be missed. For over a year now, the harmonious and friendly collaboration between Romanfabrik and Mainslam e.V. has been delighting guests every first Wednesday of the month in the villa’s uniquely designed bar, the former Rothschild family library. Incidentally, this collaboration stems from the Maison Democratique—the events that Villa Rothschild organized in celebration of 75 years of democracy in partnership with Massif Central from Frankfurt.
