Maribor is the centre of south Štajerska viticulture and viniculture, which produces the highest quality white sorts. Kalvarija, a hill which protects the city from the north wind, is mantled in grape vines which literally sprout from the city, including Stara trta, the oldest vine in the world, which has already been growing for more than 400 years as a tourist attraction on the banks of the Drava in the old, renovated town core.
