Kuenhof Winery 
Kuenhof was mentioned for the first time in the 12th century. It was then owned by the Bishop of Bressanone. The Wine Estate is located south of Bressanone, embedded in the vineyards and near the Brenner corridor. More than 200 years ago our ancestor, Peter Pliger, purchased the old farmhouse, which has been our family’s property ever since. In 1991 the scrupulous restoring of the listed old farmhouse and the cellar began. Step by step we also renewed the numerous fallow wine terraces. With an unimaginable effort we rebuilt the decayed dry stonewalls. The winery grew from initially 2.5 hectare to 6.5 hectare.
