Distilling day
Our distillery is in full swing! On these days, different fruits are turned into fine brandies. We warmly invite you to look over our distiller's shoulder as they work.
Ferdinand Oechsle Stube
The Ferdinand Oechsle Stube links the history of the Buhlbach valley with the world of wine. It is named after the inventor of the must hydrometer, who was born here and whose name the unit of measurement bears to this day. The open room has space for up to 34 people.
Our restaurant service times: breakfast from 8 am to 11 am, lunch buffet from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, coffee and cake from 1:30 pm to 6:30 pm, snack menu from 12 noon to 10 pm and à la carte from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. On Sundays and public holidays we also serve à la carte from 12 noon to 1:30 pm.
Our menus
Our à la carte menu changes with the seasons. You will find summery starters and soups, fish from the Black Forest and further afield, and meat dishes ranging from Swabian Zwiebelrostbraten, a rump steak with roasted onions, to saddle of venison. There are vegetarian dishes too, and something sweet to finish.
Ferdinand Oechsle Stube
Wine culture with a history
Ferdinand Oechsle was born in the Buhlbach valley in 1774 and developed the must hydrometer, an instrument for measuring must weight and with it the quality of ripening grapes. That connection to wine lives on in the dining room named after him. It is a stylish setting for selected wines, finely composed dishes and conversations that are happy to run a little longer. A tribute to the inventive spirit of the region and to a wine culture that is still thriving today.

When wine meets fine cooking
Selected winemakers present their wines and talk about grape varieties, vineyard sites and their work among the vines. The kitchen of Engel Obertal serves a menu to match, one that picks up the character of each wine and gives it room on the plate.
