Restaurant Kuppelrain

Down-to-earth, genuine and awarded one star plus many other distinctions. Welcome to our home!

Honest cuisine & familial warmth

In the heart of Castelbello, the Michelin-starred Restaurant Kuppelrain blends deep Vinschgau roots with refined elegance. Our cuisine is a tribute to nature: distinctive, bold and always with deep respect for the gifts our earth bestows upon us.

One Family, One Passion

We all work towards a single goal: Today, Kevin Trafoier leads the kitchen with creative flair and artisanal precision, supported by the decades of experience of his father, Jörg, a valued advisor and guide.
Together with our team of loyal staff, who share our values with deep dedication, we bring the soul of our house to life.

Fresh Perspectives, Deep Roots: Where Culinary Art Meets Family

In Castelbello, our Michelin-starred restaurant is much more than a place of enjoyment – it is our home, which we are passionate about sharing with you. Here, the deep roots of the Venosta Valley meet refined, honest cuisine in a perfect union.

Sweet Masterpieces That Touch the Heart

The grand finale is entrusted to our daughter, Nathalie Trafoier. Her handmade pralines, French patisserie, and chocolate sculptures blend technical perfection with the most exquisite taste.

A Strong Family Bond

We are supported by Giulya, who strengthens our team in the service and office departments whenever she can. Only as a complete family are we at our strongest for our guests. Honesty you can taste.

Uncompromising Wine Expertise

The Soul of the House & Sommelier: Sonya Egger-Trafoier – honored with the Michelin Sommelier Award – selects the pairings for Kevin and Nathalie’s creations following a clear philosophy:
"For me, a wine must be unmistakable and noble, without compromise. There must be harmony between the winemaker, the wine, and myself. In today's diversity, I specifically look for rarity – for something truly special."
