Torkel — Winery in Vaduz

In the middle of the princely Herawingert vineyard in Vaduz stands a medieval building that for centuries served as the wine press for the prince's grapes. In this building, with Europe's largest wooden wine press as the absolute eye-catcher in the dining room, Restaurant Torkel opened in the 1960s. Since 2017 it has held a Michelin star, 16 Gault&Millau points and the reputation of being the best restaurant in the smallest wine country in the world. Owner Ivo Berger combines historic charm with a modern culinary story. The restaurant is part of the Hofkellerei des Fürsten von Liechtenstein, the princely winery that has been involved in winegrowing since 1436. Combine dinner at the Torkel with a visit to the prince's wine cellar and a tasting of its wines (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Herawingert, grown organically and regeneratively). The conservatory is special: its walls can open completely, so you sit among the vines with a view over the Rhine valley and the Liechtenstein Alps.
