Top-class program for the 30th anniversary

In 2024, guests of the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival can once again look forward to numerous high-end events where they can experience the culinary skills of the guest chefs up close. All ten 3-star chefs will be cooking together with the chefs of the partner hotels at the legendary Porsche Kitchen Party at the luxurious Badrutt's Palace Hotel. On each of the following four evenings, there will be an exclusive Gourmet Dinner with perfectly matched wines from Caratello Weine St. Gallen and Martel Weine St. Gallen, as well as a Porsche Gourmet Safari: During the unique gourmet tours, guests will enjoy a menu course at the various partner hotels directly at the chef's table in the kitchen or at a special location at the respective hotel.
