Hike & Taste - a short visit to Steiermark. Under this motto, Austrian Wine in cooperation with Wine&Co, organized a press hike in Blue Mountain Reservation, New York. We discovered Steiermark's wine variety and enjoyed an authentic picnic.

9.30 am - 2 pm

Blue Mountain Reservation

Benjamin Gutenbrunner, born Austrian and NYC innkeeper, lead the hiking group and provided insights into Steiermark’s wine-growing region. Steiermark is internationally known for its Chardonnay (also called Morillon) and Sauvignon Blanc. In addition, Schilcher, Muskateller and Traminer were tasted. A tasty picnic from Café Katja (NYC) rounded off the joint excursion.

There was plenty of fresh air, a leisurely hike and extensive discussions about Steiermark's wines.
