Slow Food members are organised regionally in convivia, and act autonomously within the framework of Slow Food's objectives and principles. Worldwide there are more than 1500 convivia, in Austria the members are organised in 15 convivia.
In the Gailtal Valley, the fine food shop proprietor Herwig Ertl founded the regional Slow Food Alpe Adria convivium in April 2015 to raise awareness of the Slow Food idea in the Gailtal Valley and Lesachtal Valley. Events and contacts with local food producers and food artisans are intended to bring the Slow Food philosophy of "good - clean - fair" closer to the local population and visitors to the region.
You too can support the regional food producers and help to preserve and further develop the diversity of food in Carinthia’s most delicious corner.
