Lunch at Gault&Millaut-rated Restaurant Alpenrose with Grape-specific Riedel Wine Glasses - Before an Afternoon Visit of the "Riedel Glas Manufaktur" - in Kufstein, Austria (September 2026)



Before an afternoon visit of the Riedel Glas Manufaktur in Kufstein with Graydon Vandament American Wine Society and Cindy, Annette Schiller Ombiasy Public Relations and Wine Tours and I had lunch at Restaurant Alpenrose, a block away from Riedel Glas Kufstein


Alpenrose is a @Gault&Millau-listed restaurant (13.5 points), which follows the farm-to-table concept, with the products mainly coming from its own bio-farm Lindenhof. 

Interestingly, we had a @Weingut Huber Gruener Veltliner in two different Riedel glasses. Riedel is a pioneer of grape-specific wine glasses. 

The lunch was at the invitation of Riedel. Thank you very much.
