Who says A, must also say B? That’s right. Artisan Walk, Afternoon Tea and Afterwork Cocktail are three experiences curated by the Hotel Bristol for a mindful visit to Vienna.

There are three days left until Christmas and three letters are hidden behind door number 21. What does REN mean? No, it’s not the Scandinavian Christmas animal, but a drinking bottle from LARS NYSØM, which you can win today.
No, the Douro Boys are not a boy band, but the spirit is the same: they work together to touch the hearts of the whole world. Not with pop songs, of course, but with wine – from the Douro Valley. Not only does the river of the same name flow here, but above all port wine. One of the four Douro Boys members also runs the marvellous Hotel Casa do Rio. Door number 9 takes us to Portugal for today’s prize: a night in a hotel including wine tasting for two people.
Cheers and santé to the person who will win the sparkling treat behind door number 5.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary (2023), the Portuguese winegrowers’ group has created two exceptional wines: a red wine and a tawny port. These special cuvées, each blended from the best barrels of the five wineries, deserved a special presentation. The Linz-based creative agency upart won the tender. Their design for the labels and packaging of the valuable wines has now been honoured with the Austrian State Prize for ‘Smart Packaging 2024’.
Pinus Nigra – this is the Latin name of the black pine. Why are we mentioning it here? Because there is a particularly majestic one in the Seegut Zeppelin landscape park, which lends its name to the restaurant located there. A restaurant that is accorded just as much respect as the tree that has stood here for a long time.
The northern Spanish wine region of La Rioja already has enough spectacular star architect buildings. The winegrowers at Bodegas LAN are striking a softer note. Their new El Cortijo pavilion theatrically sets the scene for the landscape.

StreetXO Dubai is more reminiscent of a theme park than a restaurant. The perfect interior setting for the fusion cuisine of Michelin-starred chef David Muñoz Rosillo, for whom LW Design has captured the atmosphere of the world’s most creative places.
It would actually be more appropriate to call Willi Stürz a master miner than a master cellarer, as he doesn’t store his most valuable wine in the cellar, but in the mountain tunnel. This wine was even awarded 100 Parker points in 2019. A portrait of the exceptional Epokale from the Cantina Tramin – a bottle that has made history in South Tyrol.
The walk into the forest is taken literally here. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, the Hotel des Horlogers not only offers numerous panoramic views of the surrounding sea of spruce trees, you will also come across sculptures made of branches and oversized truffles. The Horloger’s culinary table takes you a little deeper into the forest. Guests are even invited to take off their shoes to feel the moss and wood shavings on the ground with their bare feet.
Paradisiacal film evenings with Fellini, concerts with young talents in the moonlight, talks with inspiring artists or calming tea ceremonies – the events at the Alto Hotel Group locations provide inspiration, mindfulness and good vibes!
Eating, chatting, being together – it doesn’t take much for a successful meal. The houses of the Alto Group in South Tyrol show how it’s done. They are places that tell stories and create stories. Places with charm that are simply there without pushing themselves to the fore. Places where culinary delights are celebrated together. Buon appetito!
