At the Joanneum, we kindly ask you to collect your tickets directly at the box office, and then the tour of the Archduke Johann exhibition will begin.
You will be escorted to SchlossCafe, where you will receive the sparkling pearl before you are expected for dinner at the hotel restaurant Stainzerhof at 6:00 PM.

You will then go down the Klosterhöhe to Stainzerhof, where you can enjoy a delightful culinary evening.
Program:
Meeting point: 2:00 PM, Café Hubmann. The café Hubmann serves a delicious crumbled Linzer torte with freshly roasted Stainzer coffee or “Archduke’s Chocolate”. Walk to the Joanneum via the old school path.
3:30 PM Joanneum Stainz Castle “Limonisoß á la Anna Plochl” ‒ enjoyment meets culture in Stainz. In the Archduke Johann Museum, you will also encounter the Styrian prince from his private side! When Johann first met Anna Plochl, the daughter of the postmaster of Aussee, at the Toplitzsee in August 1819, he saw in her the embodiment of his ideal woman.
Archduke Johann placed great value on frugality and simplicity, desiring a “housewife.” “You Habsburgs might be able to govern – but we Plochls can cook better,” Anna Plochl is said to have remarked, and during this tour, you will also gain interesting insights into the noble household. 5:00 PM SchlossCafe Stainz. Aperitif: “Archduke Johann’s Sparkling Pearl.” The perfect prelude to a classic menu that would surely have delighted Archduke Johann: offered in the variants Schilcher and White, “Archduke Johann's Sparkling Pearl” awakens the taste buds and heightens anticipation for the feast! 6:00 PM The Stainzerhof pampers your palate with the three-course menu “From Johann’s & Anna’s Kitchen” featuring soup, main course, and dessert.
