This Bavarian specialty made of choux pastry is a classic! Super delicious and huge are these cream puffs in the mountain inn Almhütte with its own confectionery – rightly also called Windbeutelalm.

In the Weinviertel, top chefs and winemakers offer a 5-course menu with wine pairing and music under the open sky. Unique locations, ambiance, cuisine, Weinviertel wines, and hospitable hosts promise unforgettable summer evenings in Austria’s largest wine-producing region.

The Gewürztraminer effectively has taken root all over the world and is an undisputed icon here in Tramin, the place that gave the wine its name. And that’s exactly how it’s handled, this golden white wine that is believed to be so many things.

When preparing his dishes, Toque-chef Michael Lohr places particular emphasis on regionality and seasonal products.

Wonderfully fresh, seasonal products can be found at the “HereinSpaziert” delicatessen shop in Steinfeld. So connoisseurs can look forward to finding some regional delicacies to treat their tastebuds.

The entire region is closely linked to wine – both in Blaufränkischland Mittelburgenland and in Rosalia, Austria’s only Rosé DAC region.

The region’s biggest and sweetest treat is the Wiesener “strawberry”. The wonderful scent of the sun-ripened fruits and the sparkling Rosalia Frizzante rosé make your mouth water. If it were not a strawberry, you would have to address it like royalty.

Creative dishes were created during the Mostviertel field experiments: feta cheese in ash with chive pesto, char served on a blood sausage and einkorn wheat risotto, and Traisen valley asparagus on nettles served with an Ötscher soil espuma.

Yellow, red, blue, dotted, small, large, round and oblong, waxy and floury anyway – potato varieties are like stars in the sky. For Hans Moser and Andrea, this is always an incentive to cultivate unusual “newcomers” in addition to popular standard varieties here in Salzburg’s Lungau region every year.
