Winery
new & traditional
Surrounded by the vineyards of Hundsberg, Gamlitzberg and Eckberg in the heart of the South Styrian Wine Route you will find the Weinschmiede 18′, a traditional and at the same time modern winery with a long history.
Founded in 1772 as the Tscherne Winery, the old building was renovated in a stylish and contemporary way and expanded with the addition of guest rooms, a wellness area and the wine and culinary lounge – the Achtzehner – in a modern ambience and thus turned into a real gem.
A leisure and wellness oasis that invites you to linger, and enjoy, but also to discover. Simply Southern Styria at its best.
Regional
High-quality, fresh and organic ingredients from neighbouring businesses make our regional delicacies at the Achtzehner a premium quality treat.
Seasonal
Mild temperatures ensure an early start into the season, but a real experience is the 18′ Weinschmiede and southern Styria at any time of year.
Close to nature
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.
