Plus fresh herbs from the garden straight on the bread. Would you prefer the latter gluten-free? We'll be happy to arrange that on request.

For in between or in the evening: The Buschenschank on the next hill supplies the Brettljausn directly to your holiday home. Or would you prefer a fresh Baked chicken In a bed of hay? Either way, it tastes truly Styrian! Those who enjoy cooking on vacation will find everything they need at the many organic farms in the area or at the nearby supermarket. And passionate grill masters can enjoy our barbecue area with a magnificent view. Also, ask about the char, which we'll be happy to bring you from our own fish pond for you to grill yourself, subject to availability.

Real and unfiltered like natural wine

True to the spirit of authenticity, natural wines play a key role at Johanna and Günter Krainer's Wildbachberg estate. From regional to home-made, they make up the majority of the up to 800 bottles that are on display at the in-house wine cellar It's 300 years old and not at all dry: Here, you can browse, taste, chat, and enjoy in complete peace and quiet. A sommelier is also available to guide you through the tasting. If time allows, Günter himself will also introduce you to the world of natural wines.

Of natural wine and courage,
to get involved

The glasses clink softly as Günter pours the first wine. The light is warm, the candles illuminate the old vaulted cellar, an old Venetian table, and the guests are expectant. Some examine the glass skeptically – the wine is cloudy, almost amber in color. A white wine that looks like runny honey.

Günter raises his own glass, swirls it slightly, and examines the liquid in the candlelight. "Before you taste it," he says calmly, "I'd like to ask you a question: When was the last time you drank or ate something without having any expectations?" Silence. Some frown. "I mean it," he continues. "Most of the time, we reach for things we know. We seek security. The taste we're used to. The wine we've had before, the food that doesn't surprise us. But natural wine is different. It's not a guarantee. It's an experience. You have to be willing to embrace it...

Where does it taste best?

The Places You can also find culinary delights at Wildbachberg. For two in your own retreat or on the terrace? How cozy! In an illustrious group at the large communal table outside, at the barbecue area or in the wine cellar? There's a buzz everywhere!

Or among the people?

Landlord Günter reveals the best cuisine far away from the Wildbachberg: "Theresa's offers a great kitchen that takes you to both Styria and Mediterranean regions. At the Jagawirt am Reinischkogl, the focus is on naturalness: whether it's natural pork or natural wine, it tastes wonderful! The Rauch-Hof in Wald near Stainz is also recommended - my personal highlight is the house's fish specialties!" Well then? Enjoy your meal!
