The name says it all!
Along the Culinary Vineyard Walk in Glanz, there are plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat and plenty of stunning views of the vineyard landscape.

Starting from the Mahorko Winery Hotel Restaurant, the trail leads towards the Deutschmann Winery and wine tavern. The Culinary Vineyard Walk continues through the woods towards Unterglanzberg. A short distance past the Gamser Winery lies the Gamser Chapel. Another highlight is the tasting cellar: here, you can sample the wines of the Mahorko Winery for yourself. Passing the Styrian buffaloes and through another vineyard, the route leads to the Germuth Stammhaus wine tavern. Through the vineyards with their magnificent views and along the Glanzer Kellerstraße, the trail now climbs steadily uphill, passing numerous places to stop for refreshments: the Ertl Ehmannkeller winery, the Ertl Eibenhof winery, and Oberer Germuth. Back at the junction with the South Styrian Wine Route, the Repolusk wine tavern awaits you on the final stretch before the tour’s starting and finishing point.

Ausgehend vom Parkplatz am Weingut Hotel Restaurant Mahorko wandert man Richtung Weingut Deutschmann (vulgo Smonde). Von hier aus geht es durch den Wald Richtung Oberglanzberg. Ein kurzes Straßenstück führt zum Weingut Gamser, bevor es durch den Weingarten wieder hinunter geht. Der Markierung folgend kommt man zum Verkostungsgwölb Mahorko. Von dort folgt man der Straße wieder hinauf, bevor es nach rechts weg durch die Weingärten zum Weingut Buschenschank Germuth Stammhaus geht. Nächster Stopp ist beim Weingut Buschenschank Zirngast. Den Weinberg hinauf kommt man dann zum Weingut Ehmannkeller (Ertl), von wo es nur mehr wenige Meter zum Grenztisch bzw. Eibenhof (Ertl) sind. Entlang der Glanzer Kellerstraße wandert man vorbei am Weingut Buschenschank Puschnig, Weingut Buschenschank Germuth Herbert & Heidi, bis man wieder an die Südsteirische Weinstraße kommt. Von hier aus geht es linkerhand zurück zum Ausgangspunkt, wo vorher noch beim Weingut Buschenschank Repolusk eingekehrt werden kann.

The Border Table – Miza na meji !
It is situated right on the border between Austria and Slovenia. The table and seating are arranged in perfect symmetry along the borderline and are intended to serve as a meeting place for cultural exchange. A lovely spot with breathtaking views, perfect for lingering.
