The Carnuntum Academy opens for all wine lovers

The debut event of this series will be a hike with Martin Netzl.  

Forest and vineyard hike with Martin Netzl   

Off into nature! Göttlesbrunn-based Martin Netzl is not only a successful winemaker, but also a passionate forester. He knows every vine and tree in his ecological multiverse. On May 26, participants have the unique opportunity to hike with the nature-loving winemaker through idyllic vineyards and native forests and learn all about the local fauna, the diversity of deciduous trees and different grape varieties. Cross paths with local animals and insects along the way. A wonderful afternoon for the whole family to enjoy, followed by a wine and grape juice tasting at the winery.  

Fun fact: some of the wines were aged in oak barrels – the same oak that is to be found in our forests! Exciting question: how does oak from Carnuntum taste?
