Franz Schwarz opened the Buschenschank am Oberlegar together with his wife Helene in 1997. Previously, the two had run a restaurant in Vilpian, where they gained a lot of valuable experience in running Buschenschanks. Franz now runs the winery together with his son Hannes. Franz particularly enjoys working in his chestnut grove, which he tends with great dedication. In the Buschenschank he looks after the wellbeing of the guests. He is a born host and has been known to break into song when deeply involved in his work. His wife Helene is the boss in the kitchen. There she conjures up the well known asparagus and meat dishes. Otherwise, the fruit and herb garden is her domain and she also works diligently in the vineyard. Her son Hannes attended the technical college for fruit growing and viticulture in Laimburg and has since taken over the vineyard. He is a winegrower with heart and soul.
