The reception has been a showcase of Austrian hospitality, cuisine and culture. It has been very gratifying to see H.E. Ambassador Heidemaria Gurer along with members of her staff all dressed in authentic Austrian outfit.
As for cuisine, the Ambassador delighted her guests by offering a constant flow of savoury Vienna’s sausages and Austrian dishes from the traditional gastronomy.
Noteworthy were the excellent wine served, produced from grapes coming from the Ambassador’s private vineyard. All enjoyed the Austrian style lunch-time reception.
