Overview

This private tour allows you to immers into the St. Martin's Day festivities in the Wachau valley that includes having an early roasted goose dinner before the mass in the Weißenkirchen parish church, a fortified church from the 13th century, which is surrounded by a tower fortification. The mass is attended by women wearing their costumes with typical Wachau valley golden caps.

The music for blessing of the new wine from the Wachau wine-growing region is performed by the Weißenkirchen men’s choir dressed in their local costume. In addition you get the chance to taste the light, fragrant new wine served in the Teisenhoferhof following the blessing in the church. The Teisenhoferhof is an extensive, castle-like four-winged complex around a wide, irregular courtyard with two-storey arcades that was built in the middle of the 15th century. There you can see men in their local costumes wearing typical "Steinfeder" stone feathers on their hats. Steinfeder is the name given to light wines.

What To Expect

Restaurant Loibnerhof - Knoll

In Austria a tradition on St. Martin's Day is to share a roasted goose for dinner. Tradition has it that out of humility, St. Martin hid in a barn full of geese to avoid being ordained a bishop, only to have his whereabouts revealed by the gaggle’s squawks. To commemorate St. Martin, children walk in processions carrying lanterns singing Martin songs, the new wine is blessed and tasted and people come together to have roasted goose.
