Welcome to Straußenzeit

What is a Straußenwirtschaft?

A Straußenwirtschaft—also known as a Besenwirtschaft or simply a Strausse—is a seasonal wine tavern run by a local winegrower. Traditionally, a broom displayed outside lets visitors know that the tavern is open.

What you can typically expect:

  • Estate-grown wines served by the producer
  • Regional food and hearty snacks
  • A relaxed, often rustic atmosphere
  • A limited season, usually in spring and autumn
