Up to 300 sunny days a year and warm Mediterranean streams guarantee quality and tasty wines. It is grown on 20 varieties - the most important varieties are Vernatsch, Gewürztraminer and Lagrein. There are about 380 farms on offer to tourists with wineries. Of these, 160 of them produce their own wine. Just choose one of the winemaking farms and see for yourself how this wine is actually produced.
In addition to the beautiful views of the vineyards, you can enjoy wine tastings, as well as homemade products like marmalades, cheeses, milk and many other delicacies.
