The Edible Country at Stufvenäs turns a meal into an outdoor cooking session. Guests can make a meal from local ingredients found in Swedish nature, following recipes created by four Michelin chefs. They can prepare the food themselves, ask for a local guide, receive a ready-made basket of ingredients, or have the food cooked and served.

At Stufvenäs, the table is set beneath oak trees a short walk from Stufvenäs Country Hotel. It looks towards the lake and one of Sweden’s oldest oaks. The meal can include local delicacies from Småland, with a walk among juniper bushes and flowering countryside as part of the experience.

The concept also includes The Drinkable Country, an outdoor bar where guests can create their own drinks using recipes developed by Swedish beverage experts. The drinks and ingredients come from the surrounding area. The format lets guests choose how involved they want to be, from preparing their own food or drinks to having a meal cooked and served. The description does not specify prices, opening times or how long to allow for a visit.
