Seminars and company events
Burg Taggenbrunn takes meetings from a board of eight to a conference of 650, plus weddings for up to 200 guests at dinner. The castle and wine estate stands on a hill among vineyards at Taggenbrunn, near St. Veit an der Glan in Carinthia, southern Austria.
For business events the estate offers five rooms in four buildings. The Seminar Salon sits inside the castle walls, next to the castle restaurant and the concert hall, and suits working sessions of up to 60 in theatre layout. The late-Gothic Getreidespeicher, a former granary on two floors, takes up to 200 in theatre style upstairs and 100 on the ground floor. Together, the granary, the salon and the Zirbenstube cover groups of 8 to 120 in workshop formats. The Weinbergsaal handles plenary sessions and dinners, and the Konzertsaal seats 650 for a conference or a keynote. Every meeting room has Wi-Fi, a projector with screen and a flipchart, and the estate can add whiteboards, technical support and event recording. Wine tastings and culinary programs can be added to a seminar day.
Weddings and receptions
Civil ceremonies can be held on site, and outdoor ceremonies are planned with an indoor fallback for bad weather. The castle salon takes up to 55 guests, the Konzertsaal up to 150 and the Weinbergsaal up to 200, with a terrace over the vines. The team handles flowers, table decoration, printed name cards and furniture, and the layout changes through the day from standing reception to dinner. The estate publishes its open Saturdays for the following season, so dates are easy to check.
