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
