SENDLHOFER'S STORIES
Our Sendlhofer’s Stories tell stories—not just our own. We want to introduce you to our partners, our region, our home. That’s why we set out on this journey. Because when we visit our producers, it’s more like visiting old friends.
Stories about Sendlhofer's and the Gastein Valley
Episode 1
From LUKE'S Wohnzimmer & local delicacies
From the Sendlhof spa hotel to Sendlhofer's: The first episode tells the story of the new start in 2021, the parents' doubts, Lukas' vision, and LUKE'S Wohnzimmer — a place for guests and locals alike.
Episode 2
From Gmias, wheat & local food!
How regional can a restaurant be? Our mission is to run LUKE'S using only ingredients from Austria. Thanks to the diversity of the Gastein Valley, we can source many of our products locally.
Episode 3
From employees, gardeners & meat culture
What would we be without our crew? Our employees are an important part of Sendlhofer's. They share our passion, they work for and with us, and they contribute significantly to our success.
EpisodE 4
About holidays, friendship & southern Styria
Join us on a trip to southern Styria — a place that has won us over not only because of its excellent wine. Here we visit friends, talk shop about viticulture, and discuss the vision of the local winemakers.
Episode 5
Natural wine & old barrels
At the GROSS winery in southern Styria, we talk about the history of the estate, the deep-rooted old vines and how knowledge is passed down through generations while inspecting the grapes.
Episode 6
About families, spirits & new paths
Johannes Firmenich is a true pioneer, a winemaker who has reinvented himself and his family business, who tries new things and breaks new ground — much like we do at Sendlhofer's.
Episode 7
Of mountains, 3 chefs & family matters
Between golden autumn and anticipation of winter, Episode 7 shows how we, the third generation, run Sendlhofer's. How each of us has found our place in the company, how we complement each other, and how we deal with challenges together.
Episode 8
Of growth, joy & enjoyment
There is a very special story behind the eighth episode of our Sendlhofer's Stories. Eva's family is visiting the Sendlhofers, and Eva and Lukas get to talk about their children. With Josef, Hanna, and Louisa, the next generation of Sendlhofers is growing up.
Episode 9
From Krampus, Skifoan & Hüttenzauber
When Lukas goes door to door with the Wiglitz Pass on December 5 and 6, it's going to be spookily beautiful! We'll tell you all about the Kramperln and our love of skiing in our ninth episode of Sendlhofer's Stories!
Episode 10
Of visionaries, role models, and times gone by
The 10th episode of Sendlhofer's Stories is all about Monika and Josef. They talk about how they first met, their dreams and visions, and how they have invested in the Sendlhof spa hotel year after year. Listening to them, you can understand where Lukas, Martina, and Eva get their visions from!

A big thank you goes out to our film crew.
This project would never have come to fruition and turned out so perfectly if Michael and his crew at 13NULL7 hadn’t accompanied us with just as much passion.
Thank you so much for this time together, the great footage, and the stories we get to tell together.
