🥂 Press for champagne | Bulletin #144
This week: here's to 2026 📸
Seehof Herrsching 📍 Herrsching, Germany 📸 Anna Kozar
Monks once charged just one mark a night to sleep at Seehof Herrsching, today it tempts guests with something far less modest: a champagne button. Set on the shores of Upper Bavaria, the lakeside hotel dates to the 18th century and was revived by the Hofbräu brewery in 1996. Alongside its classic beer garden came an unexpected luxury inspired by London’s Bob Bob Ricard - and 95 percent of diners press it, proving that even in beer country, champagne can steal the show. 🍾
🥳 LAST YEAR IN AWA AWESOMENESS
2025 was our most adventurous yet! We uncovered architectural wonders in Boston with our friends at Shepley Bulfinch and roamed around Rome, Florence & Pisa with Skyscanner. We soaked up everything Denmark has to offer and took the world’s longest flight to experience the sights & sounds of Singapore. Closer to home, we uncovered hidden gems in The First State, trapezed our way around Texas with Camp Fimfo, and hosted a handful of exhibitions for our Community in Santa Cruz, Seoul, and Hong Kong. (Phew!)
Whether you’ve submitted a photo, visited an Exhibition or simply liked one of our photos on Instagram, we wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU to this incredible Community for making 2025 our best year yet. Thank YOU for exploring!

 MacAlpine's Diner & Soda Fountain 📍 Phoenix, Arizona, USA 📸 Marjorie Becker | THE NAUGHTY PECANThe night before a pie contest in Phoenix, Holly Heizenrader faced a small setback: she couldn’t get all the ingredients she needed for her original recipe.
