St. Ägidi Sauwald Potatoes - a tuber with cult status

Included services:

• Visit to a Sauwald potato farm
• Guided tour of the growing areas and storage cellar
• Tasting of Sauwald vodka
• Hearty snack

The best tuber comes from the Sauwald - say the Upper Austrians, and they are right! In this gently undulating region, Sauwald potatoes have been growing in a very special way for generations: rich in minerals, grown with love and care, harvested by hand and carefully sorted.

Anyone who loves farm tours in North America - whether in Idaho, Prince Edward Island or the Okanagan Valley - will experience a charming Austrian version of this here. During a guided tour, you will learn everything about the tuber's journey: from the field to storage and sale. And because potatoes in the Sauwald are not just a side dish, but part of the regional identity, you can also savour them: At the end of the tour, you can fortify yourself with a savoury snack of bacon, roast pork, cheese and spreads. A special highlight: tasting the regionally distilled Sauwald vodka - made from potatoes, of course.
