This Saturday, November 9, seven Carinthian wineries are opening their cellar doors for a look behind the scenes and inviting visitors to taste their fine wines.

Carinthia is establishing itself more and more as a wine country, with 140 hectares of vineyards now being cultivated here - putting Carinthia in fifth place in a comparison of federal states. This is also where the climate shift comes into play. "It ensures that milder winters and higher temperatures bring longer vegetation phases for the grapes to ripen.

Klagenfurt winegrower Tobias Hudelist also opens his cellar doors.

However, this also increases the risk of late frost and storm damage," says Horst Wild, head of the Carinthian Winegrowers' Association. Nevertheless, the quality of Carinthian wines is getting better and better, which is confirmed above all by awards at Austria's toughest competition, the Salon, and international successes. Carinthian winegrowers invite you into their rustic wine cellars.

Convince yourself of the quality
Anyone who wants to see the quality of Carinthian wines for themselves and talk to winegrowers will have the chance to do so on Saturday (from 2pm to 8pm) at the Open Cellar Day. These winegrowers are taking part: Landesweingut CarinthiJa, Sternberg Weingut Egger, Weinbau Hribernig, Weingut Hudelist, Weingut Karnburg Kegley & Lexer, Weingut Maltschnig, Weingut Taggenbrunn.
