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.

Cider was often considered to be a rustic drink for farmers. With a lot of dedication, our farmers have made the fruity thirst quencher socially acceptable.
