'Buying the best ciders.'

Between Enns and the Strudengau, behind the right shore of the Danube, lies the Mostviertel, the Cider Region. Most means cider as well as juice. Herber Most is cider, but forget about the dry apple beer as we know it. Herber Most is refreshingly acid with a velvety aftertaste, has no bubbles and is made for 2/3 from pears. Süßmost is the unfermented juice of both apples and pears. The best address for tasting and buying ciders is the Mostgalerie in Stift Ardagger. Photo Paul Smit.

'Shop of Kloster Und wine college.'

The und in the name Krems-und-Stein has a second meaning. Once halfway both towns a monastery with the name Kloster Und could be found. Now it's a wine college, where you can learn everything about the juice of the grape. Moreover two large cellars invite you to tastings. But don't refrain from visiting the reknown winegrowers themselves (f.i. Weingut Jamek in Weißenkirchen) or the more down to earth Heurigen. Especially in the period of the Sturm (young wine, not yet completely fermented) the atmosphere is good there.

By the way: all things are centered on white wine in the Wachau and Riesling has the biggest name. The winegrowers however think their Grüne Veltliner reaches the same level of excellence. Since it's not known from Tokyo to New York, you can find it for much better prices.  Photo Paul Smit.
