Austria · Wine region
Steiermark.
Austria’s southern wine country on the Slovenian border: steep, green hills along the South Styrian Wine Road, volcanic cones in the east and the Schilcher hills in the west. Mostly crisp, aromatic whites, led by Sauvignon Blanc, in three DAC areas since the 2018 vintage. All 280 producers from Falstaff’s guide and OpenStreetMap on one map, with Buschenschank wine taverns, restaurants, places to stay and directions by train, bus and bike.
Area figures: Austrian Wine Marketing Board (ÖWM), October 2026.
