Bollicar goes Hotel Schloss Seefels
Savoir-vivre — these two words sound as beautiful as their meaning: knowing how to live. And even more so: knowing how to live well. The French possess this knowledge. They know how to dress well; they know how to eat and drink well; and they also know what style is, and what it means to have style.
KATE, THE ICONIC BEACH CAR
Style is also embodied by Kate, a handcrafted, fully electric beach car made in France. Inspired by 1960s design, this retro vehicle is conceived for relaxed, emission-free, and quiet drives along the beach – with a range of up to 100 kilometres.
KATE & KON, THE WINE & FOOD EXPERTS
Ideal for the Seefels Experiences, it is a fortunate coincidence that KATE & KON—long-standing partners of Seefels—own one of these remarkable vehicles and make it available to our guests throughout the summer. Aficionados of refined taste, KATE & KON curate an exceptional selection of fine wines and gourmet delicacies. And when it comes to fine wines, one name is simply indispensable: Bollinger.
BOLLINGER, THE FRENCH CHAMPAGNE HERITAGE
Bollinger is one of Champagne’s most distinguished houses, producing exceptional sparkling wines from more than 150 hectares of vineyards in the renowned Champagne region. It remains one of the few independent, family-owned maisons in the appellation, with a heritage that can be traced back to 1585.
Equally legendary are the words of Madame Lily Bollinger:
“I drink Champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it—unless I’m thirsty.”
EXCLUSIVE FOR SEEFELS-GUESTS
Whether enjoyed the French way or with a touch of Carinthian flair, the Bollicar Experience is destined to become a memorable journey—one whose impressions will linger long after the moment has passed. Much like true pleasure itself, of which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe famously said:
“No pleasure is ever fleeting, for the impression it leaves behind is lasting.”
