Its most valued exhibit it the Strettweg chariot – a remarkable wheeled platform peopled by small, weapon-wielding figures dating back to the 8th century BC.

Afternoon Tasting the South Styrian Wine Country Tour 5 hours

Afternoon Tasting the South Styrian Wine Country Tour

As you travel from Graz, you will notice a gradual change in the scenery. Something in the curve of the hills starts to take on a more southern flavor - and flavor is what this tour is all about.

Journey to the breathtaking scenery of the South Styrian vineyards where there is a certain rustic understatement in the local terminology. The excellent wines are referred to as simply a "good drop" . Here you will also be served a snack of bread with local specialties..

Visit a Buschenschank and winery along the South Styrian Wine Road called Eory in Leutschach. Here you will have a wine tasting and pumpkin seed oil tasting as you learn about the Austrian's wine making process. The winery is also home to the biggest grape in Europe made of glass.
