Asparagus Festival / Asparagus Meal Grafschaft Bentheim

Asparagus Season in Lower Saxony

The asparagus season traditionally runs from the end of April to St. John's Day on June 24. In Lower Saxony, one of Germany's major asparagus-growing regions, the season is an important gastronomic and tourist event. Restaurants change their menus, asparagus farms sell directly from the field, and the public looks forward to the seasonal vegetable.

Gasthof Dreihus as the Venue

Gasthof Dreihus in Bad Bentheim is one of the city's gastronomic highlights and offers an asparagus meal during the asparagus season. The event combines classic asparagus dishes with regional gastronomy.

Classic and Modern Asparagus Preparation

Asparagus is classically served with ham, new potatoes, and Hollandaise sauce. In addition, there are contemporary interpretations with salmon, Brie, spring salads, or as an ingredient in risotto and soups. The variety of preparations makes the asparagus meal a multi-course experience for enthusiasts.

Date Parallel to the Town Festival Weekend

On May 23, 2026, the asparagus meal runs parallel to other spring events in Schüttorf and Grafschaft Bentheim. This offers visitors a packed program on a single day.

Regional Asparagus

Grafschaft asparagus is grown regionally and stands for quality and freshness. Direct marketing and asparagus farms in the region make this vegetable a seasonal highlight even between the fixed event dates.
