Schiller's Favorite Wine Bars in Graz, Austria (2023)

On the forthcoming Austria 2023 Tour  by ombiasy WineTours

 

Announcement: Austria 2023 by ombiasy WineTours - 12 Days: May 28 - June 08, 2023

 

we will spend one night in Graz. In the evening, after touring the Steiermark wine regions for 2 days, we will enjoy a concert with the Graz Philharmonic orchestra: Gustav Mahler, Symphinie Nr 3.

The architecture of the Graz Opera house is as beautiful - some say even more beautiful - as the Vienna Opera house. The productions are highly acclaimed and the symphony orchestra belongs to the grand tier of orchestras in the world.

Before or after the concert, one might want to stop in a wine bar for a glass of wine.

Here is my list of favorite wine bars in Graz, Steiermark, Austria.

I compiled the list during my recent visit of Graz.

I used to visit Graz frequently, when I was heading the Office of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Zagreb, Croatia, a few years back. 

Auenbrugger  

 

Südtiroler Platz 5 

 

My #1 wine bar in Graz. Falstaff Barguide 2023: It's here again! Sabrina Hörbst and Michael Winkler, the well-known gastro couple from the Kehlberghof, have revived the wine bar with 150 wines, 30 of them by the glass. The even greater selection, rarities included, comes directly from the parent company with a short waiting period. 500 options leave nothing to be desired!

Tripadvisor: I traveled from France to Italy and my stop in southern Austria was by far the most memorable. 5 Star Service all the way. Very detailed wine and food recommendations from the owner a very well known female sommelier with numerous rewards for excellence. Klapotetz is a must for everyone that enjoys wine and food!
