Wine Tasting in the Schilcherland
The Schilcherland lives on a wine that's barely known outside Styria – dry, rosé-colored, with an acidity you have to learn to love. If you want to try it, you don't have to travel far.
Where to Taste It
Several Buschenschenken and wineries around Stainz invite you in for tastings – often right at the winemaker's own place, without a grand vinotheque, but with a personal explanation of their wine. You'll find a selection in our article on the Top 5 Buschenschenken around Stainz.
What an Afternoon Might Look Like
A short walk through the vineyards, then a table outside, a few glasses of Schilcher, and whatever spreads and bread the Buschenschenke has on hand that day. No program, no fixed time – just wine, scenery, and time itself.
Also as a Gift or Souvenir
Many winemakers also sell their wine to take home – a small souvenir from the region that lingers on after your stay.
