Eat better than the Romans themselves: Our top tasting tips
Wine, life and indulgence. Three things that the Romans understood best of all. And during the wine autumn, good taste is celebrated all the more extravagantly. The World Barbecue Champion Adi Bittermann provides a - or, to put it another way, plenty of - delicious proof of this every day. The chef at wine merchants Vinarium Göttlesbrunn, the first Carnuntum barbecue school and the exceptional guest house in the former imperial and royal school is our world leader in flavour. Our tip: Try the offal. We’re equally delighted to raise a glass from the Rubin Carnuntum winery. The combination of the best wineries in Römerland means the only the best vines reach the bottle. Our tip: Visit the wonderful farm shop at Schmidt Bruck vineyard, offering handpicked regional products.
