Castle cuisine – global dishes with a local twist
The castle’s culinary masters always bring something new to the table by creating historical, tasting and other menus created using carefully selected locally-produced fresh produce and accompanied by the best wines. The castle restaurant is a member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs gastronomy association, the oldest, largest and most outstanding international association for the preservation and development of the art of cooking, wine-drinking culture and socialising at a set table, taking into account the ethnic specialities of each individual region.
Although nature surrounding the island castle is getting ready for its winter slumber, the waters of the Dolenjska
region are still full of life ... and although the Organic Garden which brought much joy with its summer bounty will be
resting over the next few months, there are still many treasures to be found there and our chefs will be making good
use of these delicacies in the autumn and winter. Parsley, raspberries, pumpkins, celeriac...
Go on a culinary adventure and make a toast to the beautiful things in life!

We have recently converted one of the castle towers into a top-of-the-line winery, which is just one more thing for our guests to enjoy here. The attractive circular space, which can host 15 people, is now home to highly valued domestic and foreign wines of superior quality, while guests also have the option of experiencing a guided wine tasting.
