Region Leifers

You'll love the great variety of regional recipes we dish up for you. At the Restaurant Steiner, we serve the tasty dishes prepared by our senior chef, Oswald, and his kitchen team. Our cuisine represents an imaginative blend of traditional dishes and specialties. Besides the repertory of South Tyrolean cuisine, we serve exquisite Italian "classics" including seasonal noodle and pasta dishes. The secret of our delicious pizzas? Wonderfully crispy pizza crusts, fresh toppings, and a pinch of Italian "dolce vita." In addition to the wide selection of "classic" pizzas, we can also prepare pizzas according to your personal wishes.

Nestled between mountains and orchards, flanked by olive trees and ancient cypresses in the sun-drenched south of South Tyrol, the H. Lentsch winery is located in Branzoll.

About half of the 20-hectare cultivation area of the old estate is vineyards, thriving under optimal conditions due to their location on a large alluvial cone. Porous porphyry soil, which stores warmth during the day and releases it at night, along with natural ice holes, create a unique, natural microclimate.

Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and the classic Lagrein find ideal growing conditions on the warm, sandy-stony soils. In harmony with natural conditions, for generations, the vines have been carefully tended and cultivated through meticulous manual labor.

The distinctive, fruity wines offer the highest enjoyment for discerning palates. The longevity of these wines has inspired the H. Lentsch winery to also fill large formats.

Only grapes from their own vineyards, grown under optimal climatic conditions, are processed for the wines. Full-bodied and powerful, elegant and fresh, they stand out for their longevity.

The Rechtebner Inn is open on Saturdays and Sundays. Hot meals are available by reservation. For groups of 15 or more, opening outside regular hours is possible by prior arrangement. In autumn, the traditional “Törggelen” is offered to all guests. The bar is open daily for house guests, and light meals can be prepared upon request.

Located near the church in Laives, this place welcomes guests in the morning with a relaxed bar atmosphere. In the evening, the restaurant serves authentic, oven-fresh pizza, best enjoyed outdoors on the terrace during warm summer nights.

The Laimburg Provincial Winery in Vadena is the estate winery of the Province of Alto Adige. It has a whole series of vineyards in every winegrowing region in the province, and it is affiliated with the Laimburg Research Center for agriculture and forestry. So its task is not just to produce outstanding wines, but also to test new paths for Alto Adige winegrowing.

In total, the Laimburg Provincial Winery manages around 20 hectares of grape growing areas at elevations from 200 to 750 meters. “For us, the main focus of our work is maintaining and improving the quality of grapes and wine,” explains winemaker Urban Piccolruaz, “and, in so doing, it is necessary to test simple methods of management that save time and costs.”

From the grapes that are grown that way, around 90,000 bottles of wine are made every year. A portion of them, the estate wines, are traditional vintage wines that are typical of the grape variety. “The Burgselektion wines, on the other hand, are individual and aged primarily in large oak barrels or else they are select wines,” Piccoluraz says.

Since the early 1990s, barrels and bottles have been stored in a special cellar. “The opportunity basically presented itself to create the cellar in the porphyry rock of the Monte di Mezzo,” the winemaker reminisces. In retrospect, this unconventional decision proved itself to be doubly advantageous: on one hand, a cellar was built in which the naturally constant room temperature prevails, while on the other hand, a huge amount of money could be saved in comparison to the classic new construction of a cellar. And because the Laimburg Provincial Winery is in fact just that, the winery of the province, the taxpayers were grateful.

Quietly located, the plce serves a wide selection of pizza and meat and fish dishes. Just a short walk away from the Kneipp facility and the newly built hiking trail to the Peterköfele – ideal for combining nature and culinary.
