Passion for Tradition

Austria is fascinatingly blessed by coincidences: close to nature and informal, yet simultaneously valuing tradition and etiquette. Once-courtly formalities are lived out with a light touch at elegant events, while the finest labours of hand and head perfect traditional techniques, taking these on creatively into the modern era.
