WINE TAVERN VISIT

Southern Styria and wine belong together like the sun and the moon. Wine has been produced here continuously for more than 1000 years – and for over 30 years at an international level. The Mediterranean climate in southern Styria means that spring starts earlier here than elsewhere, and the warm autumn days bring out the best in the grapes.

See for yourself and visit the numerous wineries and the excellent Buschenschänken (wine taverns). We recommend our Sulmtaler & Sausaler guest taxi so you can drink one or two extra glasses without thinking twice.
