Steirisches Weinmuseum
About This Museum
Believe it or not, this entire museum is tucked right into the side of a vineyard-covered hill. You don't just look at wine history here; you feel it in the cool, earthy air of the vaulted cellars. It’s a place that tells the story of Styrian wine, from ancient Roman roots to the ingenious tools and massive wooden presses used for generations. Walking through, you get a real sense of the sweat and dedication that built this famous wine region.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from rustic, hand-forged pruning knives to towering historic wine presses made of solid oak. Don't miss the fascinating collection of traditional 'Doppelbock' bottles and the displays on how local families lived and worked among the vines.
Visitor Information
It's perched high up in Kitzeck, so your visit comes with absolutely stunning panoramic views of the Sausal valley. Just check their opening hours online before you go, as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a charming, traditional Styrian farmhouse with a white facade and a dark wooden balcony, looking for all the world like it grew straight out of the landscape.
