Wine tasting with Franz
Sunday night. After most of the guests have arrived at the Kinderhotel Ramsi, the adults look forward to a culinary journey into the Austrian world of wine after dinner. You will have to find out for yourself what to expect at Franz’s wine tasting. Only that much can be revealed: Our head waiter Franz tastes with you wines from all corners of Styria, the Weinviertel, from the Viennese vineyards, from Wagram in the Donauland, from the Wachau, the Burgenland with wines around the Neusiedlersee as well as the centre of the country and introduces you to unique wine varieties like the Schilcher and Uhudler with their peculiarities. Among them are famous winegrowers like Sabathi or Hillinger. And all NEW from the coming winter: unknown and up-and-coming wines from our state Carinthia, even from our Gailtal in the middle of the Alps! You can also have a taste of our Italian neighbours, one of Franz’ favourite wines, should not be missing: the “Sessantanni” Primitivo from the southern tip of the Italian boot – from Apulia – is also on Ramsi’s wine list.

How do you choose the wines for the Kinderhotel Ramsi?
Thanks to my years of experience in service, I have developed a good feeling for the taste of my guests. I then select the wines through a lot of research and samples. The current trend is towards particularly fruity white wines.
-
Which of all the wines is your personal favorite?
In terms of red wines, it is currently the Big John Cuvée from the Scheiblhofer winery and the “Sessantanni” Primitivo from Puglia. In the case of white wines, I particularly focus on young vintages. I love youth and freshness. Chardonnay is my favorite.
Cocktail mixing for teenagers with Helena
„Unsere stets gut gelaunte Helena kommt aus Tröpolach gegenüber von unserem Kinderhotel Ramsi in Kameritsch und hat bei uns ihre Lehre als Hotel- und Gastgewerbeassistentin abgeschlossen. Nach einer Zeit in den USA sind wir richtig froh, dass sie wieder bei uns im Kinderhotel Ramsi gelandet ist“, erzählt Karin.
Hier verzaubert sie nun mit ihrer flotten und freundlichen Art die kleinen und großen Ramsi Gäste. Gemeinsam mit Franz sorgt sie für Schwung in der Ramsi-Bar und bietet den Teenies einen coolen Programmpunkt: nämlich das Cocktailmixen einmal in der Woche. Gemeinsam wird zwischen Flamingo, Kikaninchen oder Virgin Caipirinha ausgewählt, gemixt, gelacht und die Cocktails geschmackvoll angerichtet.
Am besten lassen wir Helena selbst erzählen oder ihr probiert es direkt aus. ?
Asked by Helena
-
How did you come to be passionate about cocktail mixing yourself?
Through our head waiter Franz during my apprenticeship at the Kinderhotel Ramsi as a hotel and catering assistant. Since then I have also been responsible for the bar together with Franz. The idea of mixing cocktails for teenagers came to us spontaneously during bar service because the kids were always very interested. Then we simply added it as part of our weekly programme.
-
Who can take part in cocktail mixing and when does it take place?
All children from 9 years can participate. Cocktail mixing for teenagers always takes place on Wednesdays directly in the Ramsi Bar. There they can switch the position and mix cocktails together with me in the bar.
-
How much does it cost to mix cocktails and what do I get for it?
Cocktail mixing is free of charge. You can expect delicious cocktails, lots of fun, recipes for at home and your own cocktail diploma as a certificate of participation.
-
Which cocktails are mixed and can they also be ordered in the bar?
The children can choose one of the non-alcoholic cocktails from our menu. From time to time they also create their own cool creations. Ideas for new cocktails come spontaneously from Franz and me.
At home in the nature adventure world!
The Ramsi family.
