A Taste of Royalty

Jacinta (Travelbiz) attended a wine tasting event at the Embassy of the Slovak Republic at Merrion Square in Dublin. At the invitation of His Excellency Mr Andrej Droba. The Habsburg Winery pushed the boat out (and the bottles!) and we enjoyed some delicious wines throughout the afternoon. We are probably all au fait with the golden era of the Royal Habsburg Dynasty from our history lessons and the respect and influence the monarchy (Empress Maria Theresa) exerted over the region. So too the Habsburg Winery emulates top quality and old traditions in their products.
