Tradition and experience characterise the 97 years
history of the St. Michael Eppan Winery. Founded in June 1907 during
economically trying times, the cooperative already showed a commitment
in its nascent years to the support of quality wine production and
to ensuring a reasonable income to winegrowers.
In 1909 the winery building was finished in an
Art Nouveau style. The plans for the cellar and
the construction methods used were way ahead of their time. Indeed,
the main parts of the building are still fully operational today.

After
a long period of expansion, modernisation and adaptation to meet
modern demands, the recent extensive restoration work represents
the latest important development in the history of our Winery. Ancient
versus new, traditional versus modern, all combine beautifully to
create a harmonious and functional symbiosis. To ensure the best
quality wines, our Winery continues to use the typical wooden casks
that date back to its foundation, as well as the state-of-the-art
winemaking techniques.
The administrative offices and hospitality
rooms are new and elegantly furnished. The new sales area at the
entrance to the Winery, distinctly Mediterranean in flavour, welcomes
in visitors to taste and discover the great wines of the St. Michael
Eppan Winery.
