Enjoyable Martini weekend in Neckenmarkt delights the guests

Neckenmarkt was transformed into a culinary paradise on Friday, November 15, 2024. Under the motto “Martini is completely different!” A warm start to an autumnal weekend of enjoyment was celebrated. The event brought together countless guests who looked forward to a varied program of regional cuisine and exquisite wines.

The opening ceremony began at 7 p.m. in the inviting garden of the “Zur Traube” inn. There the band “in vino veriBrass” created a happy atmosphere with their lively brass sounds. The combination of hearty music and the cozy atmosphere of the inn made the evening an unforgettable experience for everyone present.

A feast for the senses

The next day, visitors were treated to a special goose tasting menu that focused on the southern Burgenland pastured goose. Carina Glatz, the host, welcomed those present with open arms and announced the delicious menu, which was perfectly complemented by selected wines from Blaufränkischland.

The menu began with a delicate goose liver fat in a glass, followed by fried goose liver, served together with apple, chestnut foam and brioche - a heavenly combination of savory and sweet flavors. The goose burger, complemented with red cabbage coleslaw and chips, represented a hearty intermediate course that harmonized with a robust Blaufränkisch wine.

Afterwards, a sophisticated goose consommé with baked goose liver dumplings surprised the guests' palates and perfectly brought out the deep flavors of the goose meat. The highlight of the evening was the goose ragout, which was served with tender potato gnocchi, followed by fried goose on chestnut cabbage and a tasty brioche casserole. The crowning finale was a tempting poppy seed striezel with vanilla, which rounded off the evening perfectly.

Tradition meets modernity

The event “Martini Gan(s)z Different!” impressively demonstrated how attractive it is to combine traditions with modern accents. The guests not only enjoyed culinary highlights from the menu and the matching wines, but also enjoyed the warm atmosphere that Neckenmarkt offers in this magical time of year.
