Wine Tavern Guide 2023: Styria

Michael Koerbler
Styria is probably one of the best regions for genuine Heurigen and Buschenschank culture. There is something wonderful here not only on the "South Styrian Wine Road", where you can also find the Oberer Germuth family winery, but also in the rest of the wine-loving province.

Daniel Weißer cooks down-to-earth with meat from his own wool pigs and many Vulkanland products. There are also fine dining menus. Good wines Haus-Gut. One of the top wine lists in Styria.

Appetisers made from regional ingredients are served in the shade of the fruit trees to accompany the house wines: cured meats Kübelfleisch and Moastabratl are among the guest favourites, followed by some red wine cake or walnut cake.

A cosy place of power with a magical garden and a source of sophisticated, creative delights. Classics such as the runner bean salad and Mangalitza snack are just as delicious as the popular savoury Sterz with sour cream and gnocchi. New on offer are the non-alcoholic sparkling teas.

Eckberg 37, 8462 Gamlitz, Austria

The view of the countryside and vineyards is unrivalled and the terrace seats are highly sought after. Crispy home-baked bread is accompanied by Kübelfleisch with horseradish and egg, specialities from the region's dwarf zebu cattle, sour pressed sausage and sweets made according to an old recipe.

Glanz 41, 8463 Leutschach, Austria

Jürgen Trummer's wines benefit from shell limestone soils, but also from the winemaker's expertise and flair - the Morillon is a must-taste! Mom provides the accompaniment from the kitchen in the form of juicy ribs and hearty snacks.

Wine and pork - the Trummer family knows a thing or two about it. Aromatic Styrian wines are served in a beautiful location, accompanied by delicious sausage and ham specialties. Bread and pastries are also homemade.

Pessaberg 26, 8422 St. Veit in der Südsteiermark, Austria

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.

Eichberg-Trautenburg 94, 8454 Eichberg-Trautenburg, Austria

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.

Unterlupitscheni 49, 8461 Ehrenhausen, Austria

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.

Kranachberg/Sauvignonweg 50, 8462 Gamlitz, Austria

The far-reaching views as far as Riegersburg Castle and beyond are an attraction for guests, as are the wines produced by the family. The focus is of course on the crisp Schilcher - which goes perfectly with the fine snacks.

Hochgrail 66, 8511 St. Stefan ob Stainz, Austria

The colourfully arranged plates are not only a feast for the eyes - just like the fantastic garden with its distant views - they also taste great. The junior chef also spoils you with snacks and pastries. The Pinot Gris is great.

Eichberg-Trautenburg 54, 8454 Leutschach, Austria

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.

Steinbach 53, 8462 Gamlitz, Austria
