Almost half of the 4,223-hectare municipal area is planted with vines and around 400 full-time and part-time wineries produce excellent wines. In the Weinkulturhaus, the central point of contact for wine lovers, you will not only find many of these excellent wines from Gols, but also tourist information and cultural exhibitions and events.
