Sundays are meant for slowing down. No alarm, no rush – just soft, unhurried moments that set the tone for the week ahead. My favourite way to begin is with a warm cup of coffee on the balcony, wrapped in a blanket, breathing in the crisp morning air. The quiet of those early hours has a gentle way of grounding me before the day unfolds. I keep everything simple. Soft loungewear, warm socks, maybe a knit sweater.

Grüner Veltliner & Soccer Evening
After a relaxing day between sauna, pool, and mountains, we wanted to wind down the evening in a cozy way. At the hotel bar, a soccer match was on – the perfect backdrop to wind down for the evening.

This wine instantly lifted the mood. It was easy to drink, yet interesting enough that you’d happily keep coming back for another sip. Wine Notes: Wine: Grüner Veltliner Löss – […]

Pizza & White Wine
A Chardonnay-Fiano Evening Sometimes you don’t need a big menu. Today it was simply pizza and a glass of Chardonnay-Fiano from Apulia. The wine is soft, fruity, and uncomplicated – exactly the kind of bottle you can open without to much thought. It paired best with the simple things: Margherita – fresh and classic, it really lets the fruitiness of the wine shine. White Pizza ( Bianca) – no tomato sauce, just cheese; works beautifully with the wine’s light acidity. Vegetable Pizza – zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms; brings out the wine’s fruitniness even more. Seafood-Pizza – shrimp or tuna; perfect […]

Cozy Evening with a Glass of Silvaner
Some evenings don’t need much to feel special. The rain hits the window softly, everything slows down, and the world outside fades a little. It’s not about doing anything planned – just letting the moment be what it is. I opened a bottle of Silvaner and poured myself a glass. Light, fresh, with just the right amount of crispness. No big dinner, no occasion – just a simple glass that matched the mood. Some wines demand attention. Others blend into atmosphere like a background song you love. This was one of those.
