Pörtschach am Wörthersee, Carinthia, Austria
July 26-August 2, 2027
The Edition
8 days and 7 nights at Das Balance, planned with Avicam.
A beautiful place. Exceptional hospitality. The right people.
Carinthia is the southernmost part of Austria, a country of lakes, forested hills and mountains. In July 2027 we are going there for 8 days and 7 nights.
Das Balance SPA & GOLF Hotel stands in Pörtschach am Wörthersee, a resort town on the northern shore of Lake Wörthersee. It has gardens, two pools, a spa and a terrace made for slow afternoons. For these 8 days and 7 nights we plan an exclusive takeover of the whole hotel.
The table is always at the heart of KCT. Expect exceptional kosher cuisine through a complete culinary day: long lunches, relaxed afternoons, beautifully served dinners, and something delicious waiting when you return. The kitchen is Glatt Mehadrin, Pat Yisrael and Chalav Yisrael; the Edition’s external supervision details will be published once they are finalized.
Avicam designs each Edition and hosts it personally. You are our guests for the week. We take care of the food, the wine and the cocktails, and we host two or three evenings during the week.
A proper Shabbat belongs to the week, with a synagogue on site: Friday-night dinner, breakfast, Shabbat lunch and late-afternoon food. Exact arrangements and times will be published later.
Private by design. Social by choice. Join the table when you like, and take the pool or the garden when you prefer. No excursion is compulsory.
