Weingut Dietl Eschenhof

WinemakerAndrea und Andreas Kessler-Dietl

Weingut Dietl Eschenhof is a small Riegersburg wine estate shaped by steep former castle vineyards, orchards, and a farm-stay rhythm rather than tasting-room spectacle. Its strongest appeal is the connection between land and hospitality: guided tastings, cellar context, vineyard tours, and a rural setting near Schloss Kornberg that makes the estate feel rooted in Vulkanland Styria.
