Homemade Spirits
And there is another special feature waiting for you here: the homemade schnapps, the „Kapruner Edelbrände“ – fruity, gentle, and incredibly tasty.
Toni Rattensberger, the son of the house, additionally treats you to specially distilled schnapps. And the Schnapps distillery can also be visited upon request!

Distillation occurs year-round, with the main distilling period between September and December. Depending on demand, Toni distills between 500 and 1,500 liters of schnapps annually.
During this process, 13 varieties are produced: Apple Cuvee, Raspberry, Cherry, Apricot, and Quince are just a few examples of the range. The only ingredients in the schnapps are the fruits themselves. The schnapps contains only what the fruit provides. Occasionally, just a little yeast is added to improve fermentation.
"But fundamentally, we stick to the principle: Good fruit = good fermentation = good schnapps", Toni explains.
