Postcard from Austria: St. Stephen’s in Vienna by night

Stephansdom, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, is THE church in the heart of Vienna – with a beautiful tiled roof that can even be seen at night.

Singing at this beautiful prime venue is a treasured iNCANTATO CONCERT TOURS moment for all of our touring choirs that are able to perform here, but as you can see in this gorgeous night photo, Austria’s capital city with its many stunning churches makes that choice a hard one. Did you know that nearby Peterskirche, the church of St. Peter’s is even older than St. Stephen’s?

Our postcards from series feature views of beloved destinations, monuments and sometimes people. They are meant to bring back memories or evoke vorfreude. Sometimes they require an act of participation from the viewer or are pointed observations of everyday life. Those moments are captured either by our team members or professional photographers. If the image speaks to you, we would love to hear from you. Also, if you have a photo to share, please reach out. Thank you!

Come hungry to Greece, especially Crete

Typical lunch in Crete with different mezze
This so-called light lunch of local Mezze may make you consider skipping dinner, but please don’t!

The typical and so-called light lunch of local Mezze may make you consider skipping dinner — not that you should!

Served family-style, you will always find freshly baked local breads, cheeses, seasonal vegetables as salads, roasted, stuffed with rice, sometimes roasted meats and much more.

The feast you see above is offered at our favorite family-owned winery just outside the capital city of Heraklion — prepared fresh every day.

On the menu is what the Paterianakis sisters, their parents and team are eating themselves, cooked by mom.

Not pictured are their all-organic wines that pair perfectly well with these dishes.

Here at the Domaine, just as at many typical tavernas, a small dessert is offered complimentary by the hosts.

Make sure to leave a little room (or a lot).
