Ringing in winter at Storchen Zurich
Gourmet evening with Gstaad flair

As the days shorten, the lights glitter on the banks of the Limmat, and the first snowflakes fall in the mountains, it's time to ring in winter in style. On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the venerable Hotel Storchen Zurich, together with the renowned Alpina Gstaad, invites you to a special culinary evening at La Rôtisserie. Two top chefs—Martin Göschel from the Alpina Gstaad and Stefan Jäckel from the Storchen Zurich—come together for a gourmet summit that blends Alpine refinement and urban elegance. This evening will be accompanied by a carefully curated wine pairing by Stefano Petta, Director of Wine.

Guests can expect an incomparable experience that goes far beyond a classic dinner: a festive start to the winter season, characterized by creative cuisine, exquisite wines, and a personal encounter with the people behind the scenes.
