Neustift Abbey in Vahrn

Culture enthusiasts must check out the incredible Neustift Abbey in Vahrn! The monastery is an absolute must-see, not just for its historical significance, but also for its tasteful wine. The Augustinian monastery is renowned for its wine history, making it one of the oldest wineries in existence. You simply have to visit the monastery and explore the surrounding area! We highly recommend visiting it in spring, when the apple orchards are in bloom, and you can enjoy a glass of wine after a long walk.
