South Styrian Wine Route

Under the term Styrian Wine Roads , eight wine roads were officially established by the “Styrian Wine” market community. More than 2000 winegrowers have settled on these wine routes and thus most of the wineries in the three wine-growing regions of Southern Styria, Western Styria and Vulkanland are located. There are many wine taverns along these wine routes that offer regional specialties and wines. Wine connoisseurs and tourists can get to know the most important wine-growing communities with their diversity of landscapes and viewpoints.
