Winery

new & traditional

In the heart of Gamlitz, in the wonderful South Styrian wine landscape lies the Weinschmiede 18′, a romantic traditional winery. Founded in 1772 as a winery, it has been stylishly and contemporary renewed and expanded with an addition of guest rooms, a spa area and the wine and culinary lounge – the Achtzehner – in a modern ambience. A leisure and wellness oasis that invites you to linger, enjoy, but also to discover. Simply Southern Styria at its best.

High-quality, fresh and organic ingredients from neighbouring businesses make our regional delicacies at the Achtzehner a premium quality treat.

Experience each season on its own. From the awakening of spring, to the joys of summer, all the way to the harvest season with its spectacular autumn colours.

From vineyards to meadows and forests to river valleys: we love nature – here it is waiting to be discovered and experienced right in front of our doorstep.

Much love

We love what we do. This means that there is always 100% love, commitment and dedication in all our work at Weinschmiede 18′ – because we simply put our heart and soul into it.

Philosophy

We stand for quality – which is why we place particular emphasis on regionality and seasonality in our wines and delicacies. In this way, we not only support our regional, neighboring businesses, but also provide you with distinctive and high-quality enjoyment. Seasonality awaits you not only in the culinary aspect. Experience with us the rhythm of the seasons and discover the secrets of southern Styria in perfect harmony with the course of nature.

Bettina and Gustav

We create wines with character and a feel-good ambience in the middle of the Gamlitz vineyards. With a lot of love and commitment we have built up another mainstay with the Weinschmiede 18′ and breathed new life into this magical place.

Experience & discover

Our winery is located in the middle of the beautiful wine landscape and is a good starting point for many attractive excursions in the surrounding area – a day trip to Maribor in Slovenia or to the Styrian capital Graz and the neighboring southeastern and western Styria offers many opportunities for unique holiday experiences.
