Hochzeitsweingut Kranachberg hosts weddings, company parties, seminars and family celebrations for up to 50 guests on a ridge in the vineyards of Gamlitz, in South Styria. The estate lies at Kranach 59 and gives a panoramic view of the rolling wine country towards Kitzeck and Sernau. A planner from the estate supports each event from the first plan to the last guest.
Seminars and company events
The estate lists company parties and seminars next to birthdays and family celebrations, and states that it has room for up to 50 people. Wine presentations and summer-night concerts are also part of the events it organises. A smaller group that wants to work or celebrate away from the city can use the wine house for the day and the cellar in the evening. The site publishes no technical equipment list, so ask what is available for presentations.
Weddings and receptions
The estate presents a full wedding sequence on one site. Guests are welcomed with a small refreshment on the terrace edged with lavender. The ceremony takes place in a wedding pavilion set in the vineyard. A toast with Muskateller sparkling wine follows, with a view over the hills. Dinner is served in the wine house at a long table covered in white, with Styrian dishes. The couple cuts the cake by torchlight on the lavender terrace, and the party moves to the stone-walled wine cellar.
Rooms and capacities
The estate has no room list on its home page. The spaces named are the wedding pavilion in the vineyard, the lavender terrace, the wine house with its dining room and the stone wine cellar. The estate states room for up to 50 people at its events. Ask which space suits your group size and season.
Catering
Dinner in the wine house features Styrian dishes, and the estate pours its own region's wine, including a Muskateller sparkling wine for the toast. A host from the estate organises the event and takes on a large part of the set-up.
History and setting
Kranachberg is both a cadastral area of the market town of Gamlitz and a well-known vineyard site in South Styria. The soil is fairly uniform, made of sand, gravel and little limestone, and the estate says this sets the wines apart from many others. The site sits on a ridge with a view across the vineyard slopes.
Getting there
The address is Kranach 59, 8462 Gamlitz, Austria. The site does not describe stations or parking, so ask for directions and for guest transfers when you send a request.
