Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg in Vorchdorf, Upper Austria, hosts company events, private parties and weddings for 50 to 250 guests across about 800 square meters of vaulted rooms. The Old Brewhouse is the main hall, and six connected side vaults and a castle garden add space. A smaller room, the Old Ice Cellar, takes up to 50 guests.
Seminars and company events
The brewery lists company events among the occasions it hosts. The Old Ice Cellar suits seminars and private gatherings of up to 50 people, and the brewery states that lectures also take place in the Malt Vault. The team advises on which rooms fit the guest count and the occasion, and can add a guided beer tasting or a brewery tour to the program. Exact seminar layouts and technical equipment are not listed on the website, so ask the brewery before you plan a conference schedule.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a regular use of the site. Civil ceremonies take place in the castle garden or in one of the vaults, and a small church ceremony can be held in the family chapel. In the garden, the ceremony and the reception happen in the shade of the plane trees, with a view of the Traunstein mountain. The Wedding Room, a vaulted space of 116 square meters, and the Brunnenmagazin, whose long wooden table seats up to 20 and is often used as the bridal table, are part of the offer. The brewery says guests can be served fresh Hopfenkönig beer drawn from a wooden cask.

Catering
The brewery supplies and advises on beer. It leaves the choice of catering entirely to the host, so you book your own caterer. Staff can help with the organization of the day on request.
Accommodation
The brewery's website offers holiday stays in a separate building, the Braumeisterhaus. It does not state how many people it sleeps or whether event groups can book it, so confirm this when you ask for availability.
History and setting
The estate is a working private brewery in the Salzkammergut region. The events take place in the former brewing and storage buildings, in the old brewhouse, the malt vaults and an ice cellar once used to keep ice for cooling the maturing cellar. Old inn furniture, vaulted ceilings and wooden tables give the rooms their look.
Getting there
The brewery is at Eggenberg 1 in Vorchdorf, Upper Austria. The website does not describe public transport, so organizers should check the route and parking with the team when they book. An online calendar on the brewery's page shows which dates are still free.
