The dinner will be held at the Hofbräukeller Würzburg. This traditional brewery was founded in the year 1643 and looks back on an interesting history. During the Thirty Years’ War, the founder of the brewery, prince-bishop Johann Philipp von Schönborn, had the idea of starting a baronial brewery to provide the soldiers with beer and keep them calm and satisfied. Ever since then, good quality beer was brewed there for many years. The year 1516 was the official initiation of the German purity law which is appreciated all over the world. Please note, that the Hofbräukeller also offers several Franconian wines and non-alcoholic beverages.
You will have the pleasure to try culinary specialties and enjoy a festive evening within the old stonewalls. Performances will contribute to the atmosphere and provide entertainment.
