The day begins with tastings of handcrafted goat cheese, produced by local farmers who combine traditional methods with a deep respect for their surroundings.

Each variety reflects the character of the Styrian countryside — fresh, balanced, and full of personality.

From there, we continue to Schloss Kapfenstein, an idyllic hilltop castle and one of the region’s culinary highlights.

Lunch features classic Styrian dishes prepared with regional ingredients: crisp Backhendl, distinctive sheep’s cheese, and the famous Käferbohnensalat, finished with Styrian pumpkin seed oil.

Carefully selected local wines accompany the meal, offering insight into Styria’s varied terroirs and winemaking traditions.

In the afternoon, the focus shifts to one of Styria’s most renowned producers: Gölles Vinegars & Spirits.

Here, you’ll explore the world of aromatic vinegars and fruit-based spirits, gaining an understanding of how precision, patience, and innovation turn simple ingredients into complex flavors.
