The Styrian “Buschenschank”
Traditional wine taverns (“Buschenschänken”) are convivial, warm, cosy places where wine is enjoyed as it should be. The quality of the service, the lovely atmosphere, and especially the hospitality are what make these Styrian taverns so enduringly popular. This in turn indicates why the Buschenschank is held in such high esteem. They have been around for over 230 years, and they are simply unique. It is vital to preserve this tradition, and to keep it going in the future. Each one is special and strongly rooted in the region.
