lotharlerch Says: The Südsteirische Weinstrasse (Sothern Styrian Wine Route) is the most popular one of all the wine roads in Styria. Its popularity is more because of the picturesque landscape than because of the wines (I found better wines in other areas of Styria but most of them sold here...
longsanborn Says: South Styria is famous for its wine, especially with its grapevipe covered hills and brilliant sunshine. Gamlitz has some good wine producers and you can go to the estates (Weingut) to try out their wines and buy a few bottles. Some Weinguts have small but good restaurants...
longsanborn Says: The hilly region between Styria and Carinthia is the land of vineyards and fine wines. The south Styria, where there are many vineyards and grapevines-covered hills, is also nicknamed "The Tuscany of Austria".During the Autumn season, when the trees and leaves are changing...
coccinella169 Says: The "Gamlitzer Weinlesefest" takes place every year on the first weekend of October. Vines of the area and local products are presented, they have food stalls, music and a big parade on Sunday afternoon.
lotharlerch Says: There are enough B&B along the Wine Road and you should absolutely stay in one of them when you have done an intense wine tasting - the Austrian police is very strict when they detect you driving with more than 0,5 promille of alcohol in your blood. You will have to pay...
coccinella169 Says: Actually we chose this accomodation because it was the only available room in whole Gamlitz. We weren`t disappointed though, the room was clean and of a good size, just the furniture was a bit old fashioned. It is a farm house, not far from the centre of Gamlitz. They grow...
coccinella169 Says: A "Buschenschank" is something similar to a "Heuriger"- it is kind of a restaurant at a vinegrower. They serve their own vines and some simple, mostly cold dishes too. The vinegrower Polz is, beside "Tement", one of the most famous and best vine growers in the area.
Buschenschank - best for wine and snacks
lotharlerch Says: There are many good restaurants in the area but the best approach to the local wines and tasty local snacks is the "Buschenschank". According to a very old Austrian law the vintners can serve their own wines and other food they are producing themselves at their farmsteads...
Gasthaus "Tscheppe am der Weinstrasse": Best Fried Chicken in the World!
longsanborn Says: This local restaurant is well-known amongst locals and city folks from Vienna for having one of the best food and wines around. Their outdoor terrace restaurant overlooks one of the most beautiful views of south Styria - hills covered in vineyards dotted with colorful houses...
Wratschko Landgasthof: Wonderful Food & Wine
BorneoGrrl Says: After arriving in Gamlitz for the first time, I was unsure of where to eat but I found this lovely place in the middle of town. The atmosphere is cozy, typically Austrian and staff are friendly. Apparently they produce their own wine and after sampling some at dinner time, I...
lotharlerch Says: It seems that there is no public transport going all along this road so it remains you to either use the car or the bicyle (which is very popular here and really rewarding).
almost every house along the road: Wine and Pumpkin Seed Oil
lotharlerch Says: There is a big variety of wines in this rather small area. The leading sort is the Welschriesling (which should not be mistaken to be a Riesling). Other popular sorts are Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Sauvignon Blanc. Only few red wines.Pumpkin Seed Oil is a "must" in...
