Experience wine regions and wines

Wine regions and wines are guaranteed to provide a special treat when traveling. Not only that, in wine regions in addition to regional wines, much emphasis is placed on cuisine. In addition, there is usually a lifestyle that celebrates enjoyment, good food and wine.

But not only that. The wines and their seasons are celebrated with pleasure. There are wine festivals in summer. Or those who celebrate the beginning of the grape harvest. There are festivals for the first wine of the year. Or choose the best wine of the vintage.

And when in the winter the vineyards rest and prepare for the coming year, the wine region is celebrated with art and culture, design and creativity. Artists exhibit their works in wineries. There are vernissages or poetry readings on wineries. Or you can organize festive events. Everyone celebrates the wines, the regional specialties and the art. There are certainly many ways to discover wine regions.

Wine regions are true paradise for connoisseurs. Experience it with us:

Hotel Althof Retz, where wine plays the main role

“Those who can enjoy no longer drink wine, they taste secrets!” This sentence by Salvador Dali above the bed in our vintner's room in the Hotel Althof Retz puts me in a wine-blissful mood. This should not leave me until the end of our stay in this hotel. It cannot be overlooked that in the Hotel Althof Retz the wine [...]

Have you ever slept with grapevines in the room? No? We do. The winery rooms at Gut Pössnitzberg in Styria make this possible.
