Good Things from Graubünden.

Culinary

Mountain cheese on your plate, Pinot Noir in your glass and the Graubünden sun on your face. This is what culinary life in Graubünden feels like. The journey of discovery leads from the gourmet restaurant in the valley to the farm shop at the highest altitude.

What Makes Graubünden a Culinary Region

Well-known classics: Maluns, Capuns and nut tart. Graubünden specialities are appreciated far beyond the canton's borders.
Wines and spirits: A Pinot Noir from the Bündner Herrschaft tastes just as good as an award-winning whisky from 3,300 metres.
Variety of culinary venues: Restaurants with mountain views, grotti in the southern valleys, confectioneries with homemade treats: the choice is vast.

Really Good Recipes.

Graubünden Specialities

Plain in Pigna

Once baked on embers, now a tradition on the table. The legendary Engadine oven-baked rösti made from «Ardöffels» (potatoes) and bacon is a nourishing meal. And it tastes even better with a fresh salad.

Tatsch

A torn pancake? We know it. The Graubünden version is also a simple, quickly prepared pan-fried dish. A sweet start to the day for breakfast, or a hearty meal for dinner.

Maienfeld Riesling Cream Soup

Zesty from the Riesling, creamy thanks to the cream. No wonder the soup by Maienfeld winegrower Brigitte Enderlin is so popular. And it's good that it's quick to prepare.

Nut Pie

Anyone returning from Graubünden has one in their luggage. The Graubünden nut pie is popular everywhere. The sweet shortcrust pastry with caramelised walnuts is also loved in the lowlands.

Prättigau Chnödli

Chnödli? Yes, please! Meatballs in a creamy sauce, served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables – a popular classic in the Prättigau region. You can taste why.

Region in Focus

Home of Pinot Noir.

The Bündner Herrschaft

The wine region between Fläsch and Malans is small, refined – and offers an ideal climate, especially for Pinot Noir. Thanks to the Föhn wind, it matures here to true Graubünden greatness.

For Every Taste.

No Half Measures.

100 % Valposchiavo

The products come from the valley. And they are also processed there. Only then does the strict «100 % Valposchiavo» label apply. All or nothing. Just typical for Graubünden.

Places Full of Delight.

This is Where We Shop

One of the reasons I love living and working in Graubünden is its rich and unique culinary diversity. I opened the Casa Caminada to celebrate the traditions and local ingredients of our region and to share them with our guests.
