Tolle lokale Produkte im Laden und Restaurant. Der selbst produzierte Wein ist ein Highlight. Die Terrasse lädt besonders bei schönem Wetter zu Kaffee und Kuchen ein. Das Blockhaus bietet ein tolles Ambiente. Wir kommen immer wieder zum Brunch.

Wir waren für den Brunch hier und konnten eine herrlich Landschaftskulisse auf einem traditionellen Familien-Bauerhofunternehmen geniessen. Das Buffet war nicht gross aber umfangreich. Auch der Hoflanden konnte sich sehen lassen. Weiter so, kann ich jedem empfehlen. PS: unbedingt reservieren!
