Historical Traces

The parish church of Steinegg was first mentioned in 1322 and is now dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul.

Wine and Cellar Work

At Pitzner Winery, you can learn about the journey from grape to wine during a wine tasting. The description also includes cellar work and the philosophy of the two young winemakers. Guided tours of the winery with wine tasting are only possible by prior reservation. The tour must therefore be planned as a separate appointment.
