Hardly anything is as typical as the Christmas goose on the holidays. A Christmas goose brings back memories of childhood. Christmas parties with parents and grandparents. We have a long tradition of eating goose. Even today it is part of Christmas like hardly any other meal. You can prepare it yourself. Or enjoy in the restaurant.
A Styria tour on the Schilcher Weinstrasse This time on our Styria tour we were on the road in three different regions: the volcanic country in the east around Riegersburg, the wine country along the border with Slovenia and in western Styria, where the Schilcher wine on the mountain slopes between Ligist and Eibis forest is growing. We take a day [...]

Wine is known to be a very special juice. Wine has soul: it can be gentle and mild, it can be furious and strong, it can be lovely and sweet. Wine is a product of its environment and this is reflected in it. Experience a Burgenland holiday with wine.
