Fermentation center on Fort Kniepass

In addition to the regional and fermented delicacies that the two restaurateurs serve in the "Fort Kniepass Kulinarik" restaurant and bistro, Fort Kniepass is also set to become a center for culinary education - a fermentation center!

Workshops on the topic of fermentation

The Fermentation Center at Fort Kniepass was created in collaboration with nutritionist and fermentation expert Karin Buchart. Together with the restaurateurs, she developed the comprehensive workshop program on the subject of fermentation. The aim is to give interested parties an insight into fermentation techniques and raise awareness of healthy, sustainable nutrition. The Fermentation Center will open on 9 September 2025 and start sharing knowledge, fermentista crafts and microbial cultures.

Slow Food Community "Fermentista in the Alpine region"

But the initiative around the topic of fermentation on Fort Kniepass goes one step further: the Slow Food Community "Fermentista im Alpenraum" was founded, which invites all interested parties to join in and be part of it, who like to revitalize food: at non-binding meetings, workshops and tastings! The aim of this initiative is to build a community that shares knowledge, preserves traditions and promotes innovation. The aim is to create not only an action and cultural destination, but also a rewarding culinary stop for day-trippers and, above all, a meeting place for the local population.

Did you know?

Under the name Slow Food more than 1,000,000 people in over 160 countries around the world are committed to a food culture that focuses on enjoyment and a sense of responsibility. The aim is to create a fairer, better and therefore sustainable food system. A Slow Food Community is a local group of people who represent these values and are committed to a specific goal, often in connection with the preservation and promotion of local food or a sustainable food and eating culture. These groups are open and inclusive and work on projects ranging from food rescue to gardening.
