"Accommodation" Wineries in Styria
The character of southern Styria is perfectly reflected in the Schauer brothers' wines, which are characterised by depth. The snack is also exceptional with ham from the Woazschwein, chili sausages, smoked char, pork brisket and great cake.
Courage for innovation and attention to detail not only characterise Stefan Germuth's excellent wines, the philosophy is also reflected in the Buschenschank. In addition to the organic cheese platter, smoked fish and sheep's cheese wrapped in bacon, the pork brisket is a must.
The 300-year-old press house with cellar has been lovingly restored with attention to detail - just like the beautiful guest rooms. At the table, the focus is on tasteful classic and biodynamic wines as well as award-winning Pet Nat in multiple versions.
The legendary wines from Polz would be reason enough for a visit, but the wine tavern culture is also raised to a new level: the atmosphere is stylish and enjoyable, while you feast on snacks and grandma's homemade Buchteln.
The magnificent view is well worth a visit, and this year's expanded menu is also impressive. Regional delicacies for the discerning complement the exciting wines in great variety: from Schilcher and Muskateller to Pet Nat.
Christian Zweytick stands for fruity, strong wines, spontaneously fermented and with organic acid reduction. The menu ranges from classic Buschenschank delicacies such as game to vegetarian and vegan dishes - all presented in an extremely skilful manner.
The sustainably produced, characterful quality wines can be enjoyed with an incomparable view from the summit of the South Styrian Wine Route. Marinated raw ham platter, cheese and smoked fish are a dream; accompanied by house bread with a crispy crust.
The family-run winery boasts a panoramic view of the wine country and stands for grown-up wines with depth, while typical classics are served in the Buschenschank. In addition to home-made sausages and sour beef, you should also try specialities from their own game hunts.
The winery can look back on a long history. One of its flagship wines is the Sauvignon Ried Kranachberg. Spreads, raw game ham platters and juicy, lean smoked ham are just as much a part of the Buschenschank's repertoire as fish and cheese.
The landscape around the winery is spectacular and the wines are characterised by their varietal typicity, in the spirit of Styrian classicism. You will be spoilt with snacks, cheese and smoked meats, various salads and great homemade pastries.
In addition to organic wines and a wine tavern, this small, fine family business also offers guest rooms in a beautiful landscape. You should definitely try the Mangalitza pork liver sausage, cheese variations with homemade chutney and the fruit tarts.
When it comes to meat production, they rely on rare breeds and manual labour, which means that unusual delicacies such as raw ham from zebu cattle end up on the snack plate. To drink, there are typical Styrian wines and a wonderfully flint Frizzante.
Excellent still and sparkling wines can be enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the steep vineyards. The gin and vermouth are also worth savouring. The creative menu guarantees delight with marinated chicken, cured venison, chilli-spiced meat, smoked fish and pickles.
Arrive and feel right at home: This works particularly well between the steep vineyards - and it's also a great place to spend the night. The Brettljause is richly topped, the radish and scarlet runner bean salad is a classic. Michi Lorenz provides a wide range of wines.
Tradition and innovation have their place at this well-known winery, with a cosy atmosphere in the parlour and salettl. The house bread is accompanied by cheese variations, spreads and really tasty brisket, while Bernd Stelzl's wines are full of character. The desserts are very popular.
From the terrace, the views sweep over the hilly landscape of southern Styria. With a crisp Sauvignon blanc shimmering in your glass and a snack board on the table, the picture perfect postcard is complete. The desserts are not to be missed.
At the large winery in a marvellous location, guests have to decide on a culinary direction: The Buschenschank classics live up to their name, while the gourmet menu offers five to seven courses. A wine tasting is also worthwhile!
On clear days, the views sweep over the town of Kitzeck and the Demmerkogel mountain out towards the city of Graz. The culinary delights are also very appealing, with its in-house smoked ham, for example, as well as its classic Styrian wines - both full of flavour.
The range of wines on offer is diverse, all of which reflect the terroir perfectly, especially the Gelber Muskateller. The wines go perfectly with delicacies such as homemade bread with spreads, salami or salads with sheep's cheese and runner beans.
This is what the Styrian volcanic region tastes like: a fruity white wine in the glass, home-baked bread on the plate - with a choice of succulent ham or delicious vegan-vegetarian options to accompany it. After all, the tofu is made from home-grown soya.
