Around the Grill winery on the Ried Kranach, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc vines about half a century old are growing. Viticulture offers a tangible introduction to the area; tastings, insights into wine cellars and vineyards, landscape views and locally inspired dishes each add a different accent. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Kranach, you can choose the focus of your stay according to your interests in wine, outdoor activities or cuisine.
Taste wine and discover wine culture
The Adam Amandus & Carmen winery offers wine tastings and wine sales. Most of its wines are made in the South Styrian style, characterised by freshness, fruit, clarity and straightforwardness. So it is not only the grape variety that matters: the described winemaking style also gives the wines their own distinctive character.
At the Wieser winery’s G’wölb, you can taste wine, gin, schnapps and liqueur. The winery also offers wine tastings and guided tours of the property. The range of drinks here therefore goes beyond wine, while the guided tour offers another way to discover the winery.
On request, guests can visit the wine cellar and vineyards of the Peter Grill Buschenschank with Peter or Peter Jr. and gain insights into wine culture. The cellar and vineyards are the focus of this visit, whereas a tasting takes wine itself as its starting point.
Chapels, vineyards and a named hiking trail
The Paker Chapel stands on a hill, surrounded by the gently rolling vineyards of South Styria. It offers panoramic views across the vineyard landscape. The view from the Peter Grill Buschenschank is different: it sits on elevated ground amid the winery’s own vineyards. The panorama takes in vineyards, mixed forests, churches and observation towers in South Styria. By comparison, the view from the Paker Chapel is focused directly on the vineyard landscape.
The Cloverleaf Hiking Trail No. 4 leads to Kranachberg and then gently downhill to Dreisiebner Chapel. It describes a specific route connecting named points, while the chapels and vineyards offer their own landscape views. Those choosing between a hike and a view will find different ways to experience the area here.
Regional cuisine with convenient advance ordering
TOSO back&pick Backhendlstation values regional produce and traditional preparation. It offers freshly prepared Styrian fried chicken, with or without the skin, as well as homemade potato salad. The Peter Grill Buschenschank uses carefully selected ingredients from its own production or from regional businesses.
When making plans, it is important to distinguish between a tasting and ordering a meal in advance: the Adam Amandus & Carmen winery asks guests to book ahead where possible so that wine tastings can take place safely and without disruption. Orders from TOSO back&pick Backhendlstation, on the other hand, can only be placed in advance via the back&pick hotline. This makes it clear where advance booking is requested and where pre-ordering is a requirement.
