An authentic taste of the Tyrolean Alps
Chef Albrich was born and raised in a rich culinary heritage in the Tyrolean Alps of Austria. There the autumn “Wild Game Weeks” (locally known as Wildwochen) are a highly anticipated culinary tradition celebrating fresh, locally hunted mountain game like venison, chamois, hirsch and wild boar. These themed weeks take place throughout North Tyrol (Austria) and South Tyrol (Italy) from mid-September through late November. Chef Albrich invites you to experience this time-honored tradition firsthand. From mid-September through December, he can curate a private dining experience for you and your guests centered around fresh, sustainably hunted mountain game like venison, elk, bison or wild boar, beautifully paired with other local ingredients. This dinner experience can be in your private home or vacation rental anywhere from around Banner Elk to Blowing Rock.
