Regional cuisine and wine in Styria

Austrian Regional Cuisine & Wine

Styria’s culinary landscape is defined by its historic hunting castles, high-altitude alpine huts, and traditional wine taverns known as Buschenschanken. This collection features 19th-century estates like Schloss Kassegg in the Gesäuse mountains alongside South Styrian wineries like Weingut Gross. Discover regional traditions at the Altausseer Kirtag, one of Austria's largest festivals, or visit specialized dumpling huts and organic taverns. These locations offer a focused look at the region’s authentic food culture, ranging from formal castle dining to rustic mountain fare and estate-grown wines.
