SWEETS BY KAECHELE

We're two sisters who grew up in Germany, and not a day goes by that we don't miss the flavors of home. Some of our best memories are in the kitchen, cooking alongside our family with recipes that have been handed down through generations. Now, we're sharing those dishes — and a piece of our hearts — with you. We'll be offering treats like gebrannte Mandeln, Schokoküsse, Bienenstich, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, pretzels, and so many more delicious bites from home!

SCHNAPPS-IDEE

Schnapps Idea Distillery is dedicated to the creation of fine fruit brandies and spirits, similar to what Black Forest distilleries have done for centuries. We are extremely passionate about what we do and what we want to achieve, navigating the balance between traditional and modern methods. Our fruits are sourced locally and processed in our distillery in Heidelberg, Australia. From the fruit to the labelling of the bottles: people and manual craftsmanship play a central role. Whether Packham or Bosc pear, quince, tormentil (Red Root) or another distillate from our range, each brandy is an authentic composition of aroma and taste.

We're thrilled to be part of this year's Swiss Festival! To celebrate, we've set aside 10 bottles of our strictly limited Cherry Brandy (Kirschwasser) just for you.
