Please use the parking lot behind the estate, there is plenty of space available. We wish you a relaxing journey.

We don't sell BBQ, we sell an experience!

A holiday as it should be! When fire meets world champion, when premium meat falls on glowing coals, and when the elite of the BBQ scene gathers in Dagobertshausen, it's clear: This is about real barbecue.

 

On May 1, the Hofgut becomes a fire arena. Europe's largest rotation smoker makes its rounds. Half a ton of steel glows in the Hydra Grill. High-end technology, honest craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality meet passion, smoke, and pure energy.

 

Craft Beer, Whiskey & Wine

The right drink belongs to the BBQ. Look forward to a Craft Beer Experience with IPA, Bavaria Ale, and Bock, as well as whiskey cocktails and selected wines that perfectly harmonize with the aromas of smoke and embers.

A lively outdoor barbecue gathering with many people around a large fire pit and grill, orange umbrellas, brick building in the background, holding drinks.
