Styria: Wine, Castles & Chocolate
Discover an abundance of lovely scenic spots and many impressive cultural treasures in Styria.
Suggested Programme
Arrival and dinner at your hotel.
Join your guide for a guided tour of the city of Graz, cultural city of Europe in 2003 and visit many of the major sights, including the Clock Tower, the Landhaus, the Opera House, and much, much more.
Travel to the Lippizaner stud farm of Piber, just a few kilometres north of Graz. The stud farm is the home to many of the famous “Lipizzaner” horses, which are trained at the well-known Spanish Riding School of Vienna. During your visit, you can enjoy a guided tour of the stables.
Take a scenic tour through the “Schilcher wine region”, famous for its wine and pumpkin seed oil. Obviously, a wine tasting and pumpkin seed oil tasting have to be included.
We also recommend a visit to Riegersburg, where the walk up to the castle is an adventure in itself. You then have a chance
to sample a glass or two of the best Austrian wines after a guided tour of the distillery.
If there is enough time why not travel to the Zotter Chocolate factory, where you simply cannot resist the sweet temptation of numerous kinds of chocolate.
Depart for your trip home after breakfast.
