Discover Neusetz: Wine Route, Culinary Delights and the Sacred Heart Chapel

Neusetz can be explored in different ways: with a cultural stop at the Sacred Heart Chapel, along a road lined with vineyards, or through experiences that combine wine, tastings and insights into regional culinary worlds. Those planning a trip with several generations can choose between tranquil discoveries, fixed stops and a guided tour.

Culture and local character in Neusetz

The chapel in Neusetz is known as the Sacred Heart Chapel and is one of the village’s attractions. It provides a cultural point of reference for anyone who does not want to focus their trip exclusively on culinary experiences. Alternating it with wine-related activities creates a varied itinerary: an excursion can begin with a cultural destination and then continue to one of the culinary stops, without the chapel being subject to any specific opening or access rules.

The Southeast Styrian Hügelland Wine Route is particularly distinctive. It is lined with the vineyards of Neusetz and Hof and runs along the L 256 westwards into the “Rosenberg” wine country. Anyone including this route in their day plan should bear in mind that it cannot be travelled by public transport. This detail is relevant when choosing suitable accommodation and organising your stay: the desired excursion route and your personal arrival plans should be considered together.

Wine, tastings and special insights

The “Harvest Journey to Genussgut” takes visitors through six stops, from the vineyard to a final tasting. This sequence gives the excursion a clear structure that fits well into a planned day of travel. For families and other groups who enjoy discovering different stops together, this format offers a way to combine the themes of vineyards and tastings.

Another option is the “Discoverer’s Tour”. It is available without advance registration during opening hours. In terms of organisation, this distinguishes it from the guided tour at Genussgut Krispel. Those who want to plan their stay flexibly can take this option into account when organising their day and select the other destinations in Neusetz accordingly.

Krispel’s Genuss Theatre opened in May 2021. At Genussgut Krispel, a guided tour takes visitors through the wine cellar, the Mangalitsa pigsty and the basalt ageing rooms. These stops focus on different aspects and make the subject of culinary enjoyment more than just a tasting: the wine cellar, Mangalitsa pigsty and basalt ageing rooms each represent a distinct part of the visitor experience. The guided format is a clearly defined part of the offering.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

When looking for a holiday apartment in Neusetz, it is worth deciding on your preferred focus first. If the trip is primarily intended to include the Hügelland Wine Route and its vineyards, the limited use of public transport on this route is an important point to consider when planning your day. If, on the other hand, you would like to combine cultural and culinary impressions, you can view the Sacred Heart Chapel, the “Harvest Journey to Genussgut”, the “Discoverer’s Tour” and the tour at Genussgut Krispel as different elements of your itinerary.

Neusetz is therefore suitable as a search destination for travellers who want to choose accommodation not only according to where they will stay overnight, but also according to the character of their excursions. The available facts reveal several clearly distinct travel ideas: a wine landscape along the L 256, a six-stage harvest journey with a final tasting, a discoverer’s tour without advance registration during opening hours, culture at the Sacred Heart Chapel and a guided tour offering insights into the cellar, Mangalitsa pigsty and basalt ageing rooms.
