Burgerhof Meßner Winery and Buschenschank
The Burgerhof is located on a glacier terrace at 750 meters above sea level above Brixen. It was first mentioned in a document in the 13th century. Originally it was probably the "Mairhof", the supply farm of the Pfeffersberg Castle , which was built in the late 12th century and was razed and abandoned a little later. The foundations and individual castle walls are still reminiscent of the construction today.

Products:
Suckler cow husbandry and viticulture, with its 1.3 hectares, are the main fields of activity at the Burgerhof. In order for biological cycles to develop, however, species and variety diversity is fundamental. This sounds like this, for example: courgettes, tomatoes, various seasonal salads, potatoes, spinach, chard, garlic, onions, rocket, kohlrabi, cucumbers, many different herbs, old apple varieties, plums, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, blueberries , gooseberries, blackberries, cherries... and so on and so forth. The best thing is for our guests to get an idea on site.
The Buschenschank:
As openly as we are in the design of our dishes, we are as narrow in relation to the food. We can operate almost independently. And if we don't succeed, then we look for local partners. This is the only way we can close all important cycles for nature and the coexistence of people in and around the Burgerhof. We look forward to your visit.
