Lower Austria
The Wachau, for instance, is noted for its outstanding wines and – in proportion to its size - boasts more gourmet restaurants to the square mile than any other region. But there is also plenty to delight the palates of travelling connoisseurs in the regions of the Waldviertel, Weinviertel and Mostviertel.
The people of the Wachau are especially proud of their apricots. For generations now great effort has gone into fostering the quality of the fruit, and in 1996 these endeavours were rewarded when the European Union included the ”Wachau Quality Apricot” as an internationally protected brand designation. You can taste the loving care put into growing the apricot in that superb local delicacy, the Wachau apricot dumpling: even those who would swear they don’t put any store by desserts can be induced to change their minds by the fluffy curds-based covering and the bitter-sweet juiciness of the fruit concealed inside.
