Hospitality in the best family tradition at our winery in the Vulkanland in south-eastern Styria.

The beginnings of our winery

Our estate, first mentioned in a document in 1712, originally belonged to the Hartmannsdorf estate (now Markt Hartmannsdorf). The delicious grape elixir was already being cultivated on around 20 hectares of vineyards on the Herrnberg in those days. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a small wine tavern with direct producers. The first step towards quality viticulture was taken by Windisch Franz Sr. who attended the Silberberg viticulture school from 1939 to 1940 and began to set new standards after his return from American captivity.

From the 1990s to today

In December 1992, the current owner of the winery, winemaker and cellar master Siegi, officially hung up his carpentry trade and took over the small winery together with professional chef Marina. By creating his own farm workshop, Siegi was able to produce virtually all the interior and exterior fittings himself.
We are particularly proud of the great success of our award-winning smoked specialties, which we produce ourselves without nitrite curing salt.

Outlook - Business Succession

Son Christoph trained as a winemaker in Silberberg from 2002 to 2004. His first relationship, in the context of which the “Weinhof der Vielfalt KG” was established, unfortunately did not bear fruit. The hope that a second attempt will fulfill the family's expectations remains.

In the time until then, the founding oldies would like to spend many more hours with their guests - albeit in a somewhat slimmed-down form. With foresight, the area under management has been reduced somewhat.
