20 years of Mesnerhaus

Twenty years. Two hosts. One shared dream.

In 2007, a new chapter began for Maria and Josef Steffner at the Mesnerhaus. A shared idea became a restaurant with a signature of its own. A historic house became their home as hosts. And many individual evenings became twenty years filled with encounters, enjoyment, and memories.

In 2027, therefore, we do not wish merely to look back. We wish to celebrate.

Maria and Josef Steffner in front of the Mesnerhaus

What began twenty years ago.

Maria in the restaurant and with the wine. Josef in the kitchen. Between them, a house from 1420, a shared understanding of hospitality, and quite a lot of work.

Twenty years later, much has grown: the restaurant, the kitchen, the wine cellar, and the Boutique hotel. Above all, however, the number of people who return to Mauterndorf time and again.

02 · Maria & Josef

Together since 2007

Two people. Two roles. One Mesnerhaus.

Maria Steffner, hostess at the Mesnerhaus

MARIA

Hostess. Sommelier. The heart of the house.

Maria oversees the restaurant, the wine, and the hotel—with knowledge, attentiveness, and a hospitality that does not need to push itself to the foreground to be remembered.

Josef Steffner, Chef de Cuisine at the Mesnerhaus

JOSEF

Chef. Product thinker. Lungau native.

Josef brings Lungau to the plate without dressing it up: regional, precise, distinctive, and with respect for the product. His cuisine has grown over two decades—without losing its origins.

The Mesnerhaus works not in spite of these different roles, but precisely because of them.

04 · Anniversary year 2027

20 years. 20 special moments.

A birthday would not have been enough for us.

That is why 2027 will be celebrated for an entire year—with friends, companions along the way, chefs, winemakers, artists, and people who enrich the Mesnerhaus in their very own way.

Sometimes there will be cooking. Sometimes performances. Sometimes looking back. And sometimes everything happens at once.

20 YEARS IN A GLASS

To twenty years. And to everything still to come.

Twenty years of Mesnerhaus deserve to be celebrated. That is why a Mesnerhaus anniversary sparkling wine of our own will accompany us through the anniversary year 2027—for special evenings, old friends, new encounters, and a very good reason to raise a glass.

07 · Thank you

2007–2027–…

Thank you for twenty years.

For every set table and every empty glass. For criticism and compliments. For people who came once and have been coming back ever since. For staff, producers, friends, and companions along the way.

Twenty years are a good reason to look back. But an even better reason to continue.
