... from the tree to the bottle

High-quality spirits from the Carinthian countryside

The Obergasser Distillery on Lake Weissensee stands for tradition, quality and genuine craftsmanship. For generations, we have been passionately dedicated to producing fine spirits and liqueurs – using the best regional ingredients and with deep respect for nature and origin.

In the midst of the picturesque landscape of Lake Weissensee, where nature, rural culture and ancient craft traditions come together, we produce spirits that delight connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.

Local fruits, herbs and berries are used to create exceptional spirits that capture the taste of the region.

Traditional craftsmanship

The history of our distillery goes back more than 60 years – to Great-grandmother Stefanie, who distilled for her own use back then. The fore-run and after-run were used on the farm for animal care and disinfection, and she lovingly passed on her knowledge of distilling to her grandson Michael.

Michael has now been distilling fine spirits and producing high-quality liqueurs for almost 20 years. What once began with a simple schnapps still has evolved:

In 2024 a modern high-tech facility was purchased – including two heated and cooled mash tanks and a fruit washing system with a shredder. Today, we combine traditional knowledge with state-of-the-art technology to guarantee the highest quality.

"The art of distilling has always been passed down from generation to generation in our family – and you can taste that in every one of our spirits."

A lot of manual work

At Obergasserhof, we grow over 30 different fruit trees and bushes, from juicy apples and pears to aromatic berries. Everything is harvested by hand and processed with great care.

We use only the best quality – which is why we also purchase carefully selected fruit from regional partner farms.

Natural and sustainable farming is particularly important to us: We fertilise exclusively with our own manure and completely refrain from using pesticides and artificial fertilisers.

This results in genuine, natural fruit – pure, aromatic and free from chemical additives.

awards

All the hard work, care and craftsmanship have paid off:
Michael's fine spirits have won multiple awards – at the Wieselburg trade fair with gold and silver and at the renowned "Goldenes Stamperl" competition, also with gold and silver.

These successes confirm the exceptional quality of Obergasser spirits, which are made from hand-picked fruit, natural ingredients and genuine passion. Each award is a token of recognition for the Lilg family's decades of dedication and tradition.
