Personal, informative tour We had a wonderful tour at Weinut Walter Glatzer led by the seriously impressive winemaker Hanna, who took us to the vineyards, the cellar, and then led a highly informative winetasting. Hanna was generous with her time and knowledge, and we left with several bottles of the fantastic wines produced here.
