It is certain! The Food Unplugged goes into the next round!
The Food Unplugged 2023 was a complete success. Also this year, the Engelberg top chefs have transformed the barbecue area of the Fürenalp cable car into an outdoor kitchen for gourmets. On two evenings, our guests were treated to a wonderful aperitif, amuse bouche and 5-course menu including wine accompaniment at the Wald Dinner. During the day there was also a lot going on at the festival area and spontaneous visitors were allowed to taste their way through the menu of the Wood-Food afternoon.
The next Food Unplugged will take place from 7th - 9th of June 2024!
