This event is a unique evening gourmet journey on the historic railcar of the Ritten Railway in South Tyrol (Italy).
It combines fine dining, local wines, music and a scenic train ride under the stars.
During the evening, the train stops at four different stations. At each stop, a different local restaurateur from the Ritten serves one course of a five-course menu. Each dish is paired with selected regional wines and gourmet mountain apple juices. A live music ensemble accompanies guests during the train ride and while dining at the stops.

Although each ride is slightly different, the start and end are always the same at Oberbozen railway station. Here is an example on how the program could look like:
Start: 7:00 PM – Oberbozen station: Welcome aperitif and snacks
• Maria Himmelfahrt station: a delicious soup
• Oberbozen station: an elegant starter
• Lichtenstern station: the highlight of the evening – the main course
• Klobenstein station: a “heavenly” dessert
• Back at Oberbozen station: a farewell “Schnaps” around midnight
