markilux: Vineyard and tavern in Austria gets a new pergola

Around 50 kilometres south of Graz in Austria, a tavern connected to a vineyard has fitted its outdoor terrace with a modern shading system from markilux. The system will make for a more pleasurable outdoors stay.

“We completely redesigned the building of what is now the Weinschmiede a few years ago, equipping it with guest rooms and a wellness area. But we made sure the character of the historic building was preserved,” explains Bettina Strauss. Together with her husband Gustav, she manages Weinschmiede 18 in Gamlitz in southern Styria.

They serve their home-grown wines in the "Buschenschank". Old and new complement one other wonderfully in the wine bar. This concept has now been rounded off with a new solar protection system from manufacturer markilux which shades the good 40 square metres of outdoor terrace that offers stunning views of the surrounding vineyards.

Cosier atmosphere for guests

The Strauss family opted for the large-scale shading system with the pergola stretch. “For us, this model was definitely the best choice of product because with just two units, the entire terrace can be covered. It extends wonderfully quietly and we can now offer our guests perfect protection from the wind and cold outdoors,” explains the restaurateur.

With the integrated LED lighting and the in-built infrared heaters, you can sit out on the terrace for much longer. After all, the point is to create an atmosphere, both indoors and out, in which people can taste and enjoy wine, and then perhaps buy a bottle or two to take home with them.
