25 years of "new takeover"
25 years ago, on April 1, 2000, I took over the Gmoakeller and (re)opened it after a short renovation. Since then, the cellar, kitchen and guest garden have been adapted several times to meet current requirements, but our striving for the highest quality has remained the same. We want our guests to feel at home and want to come back. We look forward to your visit!
