Plant-based culinary
at Falkensteiner Balance Resort Stegersbach

A month of vibrant variety, surprising flavours, and inspiring experiences – for everyone with a taste for discovery.

This September, we’re shining a spotlight on plant-based cooking in all its forms: aromatic, creative, and full of fresh ideas. Expect seasonal menus, tastings, cooking workshops, yoga sessions, and relaxed garden walks. An open invitation to explore mindful indulgence – from the very first bite to the final day.

Plant-based indulgence

Fresh, creative, full of flavour

On September weekends, everything revolves around the diversity of plant-based cuisine. Look forward to creative menus featuring superfoods, seasonal ingredients from our very own permaculture garden and perfectly balanced flavours. Renowned guest chefs bring their own unique plant-based signature – and those with a sweet tooth will discover vegan delights from our patisserie. An invitation to explore new tastes and embrace the vegan lifestyle.

Programme-Highlights

September brings not only days of indulgence, but also inspiring encounters. Look forward to exciting guests and passionate partners who share their knowledge, perspectives, and creativity. From workshops and tastings to talks and interactive sessions – each one adds flavour, inspiration, and fresh ideas to your plant-based experience.
