Sonnhof’s cuisine
Much like the wine selection, the dishes are mainly made with ingredients from local producers and farmers. Such as wild game from Pontau’s hunting grounds. Chef Vitus Winkler’s cooking style is very much defined by his precise aromas and strong compositions. His playful desserts however, are also an absolute must-try. If you have a sweet tooth, Winkler’s olive candyfloss will surely make your heart beat a little faster. On the wine list you’ll find recognizable brands, as well as a few surprising options. Expect an array of organic wines and digestifs, including fine spirits from local distillers in Hallein and St. Veit. But also exciting alcohol-free options like lemongrass-ginger lemonade and homemade herbal syrup made from melissa, verbena, or mint.
St. Veit & area
Hotel and gourmet restaurant Sonnhof is situated in St. Veit im Pongau, on a sunny plateau above the valley. Here, you’ll be sure to get the greatest amount of sunlight that Salzburger Land offers. As a spa town, St. Veit has a lot to offer if you’re looking for some much-needed space, peace and relaxation. It’s no wonder that the town attracts visitors from near and far, searching to escape hectic everyday life. Surrounded by the clean mountain air, this is the perfect place to explore one of the many hiking paths. You can embark on guided hiking or mountain-biking tours, organized by ex-professional skier Ernst Winkler (Sonnenhof’s senior owner). Knowing the local mountains like no other, Ernst also offers snowshoe hikes and ski safaris during winter. For shopping local delicacies, we recommend Pongau Farm Shop in Schwarzach.
