Sustainability
Since 2022, our greenhouse has been located at the winery at Erlachhof. Cornelia Fischer and her colleagues cultivate, care for and grow some of the organically grown vegetables that are needed for our two restaurants. Thus, we determine the time of harvest and the degree of ripeness ourselves. In addition, we avoid long transport routes and reduce the burden on the climate. At the same time, we can offer our guests delicious, fresh and regional dishes.
We are also sustainable in the area of mobility with our e-car. There are 8 e-charging stations for our guests.
The photovoltaic system on the roof of our winery supplies us with an additional 60 KW.
