DECEMBER 2019 –– JUNE 2020 When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.

LAOTSE

There are many ways to relax and recharge your batteries. While some already master the art of just doing nothing, others rather wish to decelerate slowly: by unwinding in spas and pools for adults or families; inhaling fresh mountain air while swimming in warm water; heating up in spacious saunas or an authentic Oriental Hamam; cooling off in crystal-clear mountain streams or lakes; being pampered with soothing treatments or the healing methods of TCM; practicing mind- fulness in Taiji, Yoga or Meditation Retreats; walking, hiking, climbing, jogging, trail running, forest bathing, e-mountain-biking or skiing in virgin nature – and of course, enjoying immaculate service and superb food.

If in addition you want to clear your head, stimulate your imagination and release emotional tensions, I recommend you visit our bookstore and our concerts and festivals with great artists on the pulse of time. After all it is music and literature which not only give everything meaning, but also let us experience time truly suspended.

I look forward to welcoming you back or for the first time to Schloss Elmau!

OUTSTANDING WINEGROWERS AT THE LUCE D'ORO**

presented by Head Sommelier Marie-Helen Krebs

14 & 15 April Fattoria Nittardi, Tuscany Weingut Wittmann, Rhenish Hesse

“Those who make wine think in generations.” Both Nittardi and the Wittmann winery are perfecting their expertise in wine-growing true to this motto. This long-term appreciation has resulted in vines of remarkable balance, and wines with depth and precision. The first few bottles of the Nittardi estate’s premium wine “Nectar Dei” went to the Pope early on, a tradition that continues to this day.

2 & 3 June Weingut Dönnhoff, Nahe Bodegas Muga, Rioja

Here are two wineries whose pairing could not be more harmonious. Outstanding German Rieslings from the Dönnhoff winery meet perfectly matched Spanish red-wine temperament from the Muga family. Both wineries cultivate grapes in the old family tradition which then find their way into great wine compositions.

A Masterclass with one of the two fea- tured wineries will be held in the afternoon on each of the two days in April and June. Get to know the winegrowers personally and taste their finest wines. The exciting oenological journey on 14 April and 2 June will be rounded off with a 5-course dinner including wine accompaniment at the two-star Luce d'Oro restaurant.
