Tip

The jazz brunch in the morning and the 'Löffelmusik' in the afternoon are experiences in themselves – if you have time, plan a whole day in the Palace Garden.

Culinary Delights in the Palace Garden

GourmetGarten is Schwerin's culinary open-air festival. The venue is the historic Palace Garden on Lake Schwerin – a baroque park that transforms into what the city calls the 'most beautiful garden restaurant in the city' for three days. The festival brings together Schwerin's best chefs, vintners from Franconia and Saxony, and regional manufacturers and craft businesses. Specialties from across the spectrum of gourmet cuisine are served.

Enjoyment from Game to Cider

The culinary offerings are diverse: game from Michelsen butcher shop, tarte flambée, freshly roasted coffee, wines, craft beer, and cider. Tastings of whisky, beer, and cigars complement the program for those who want to delve deeper into individual culinary worlds. GourmetGarten focuses on quality and regional origin – many of the vendors come from Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Music in the Garden

Music is an integral part of GourmetGarten. Live bands play in the afternoon – the so-called 'Löffelmusik' (spoon music) – while a jazz brunch with a brass band invites guests to their tables in the morning. This transforms the festival into more than just a market: a convivial summer afternoon where food, drink, and music come together. The park, with its picnic tables and relaxation areas, invites visitors to linger.

Schwerin and its Palace Garden

Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, along with its palace, palace garden, and residential ensemble, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2024. GourmetGarten uses this backdrop as a stage for regional culinary culture. For the city, the festival is a fixed summer event and a showcase for the region's cuisine and producers.
