Genusshotel Riegersburg

Riegersburg Castle, dating back to 1138, towers as a landmark over the market town of the same name in south-eastern Styria. The restaurant at the Genusshotel Riegersburg offers a magnificent view of the building. While your gaze wanders into the distance, you can try the hotel's signature dry-aged beef from the hotel's own 30-day maturing room and sip a glass of fine wine from the large wine cellar. The emphasis here is on quality rather than quantity, and the depth of vintage is particularly important. The hotel is also the starting point for visits to numerous culinary manufactories in the area. What better way to celebrate the New Year than with the finest delicacies?
