"Accommodation" Wineries in Lower Austria

The various vineyards in the Wachau region offer an impressive variety of wines, and on the rare occasions when they are served, they are paired with delicacies of equally high quality: For a snack in this beautiful restaurant, you might be served Mangalitza lardo or raw venison ham, for example.

Sooßer is a flagship establishment with two wine lines: the classic line centered around the robust red wine “Spada,” and the wines from the two daughters—aka the “Sword Bearers.” They’re a delight to enjoy in the cozy courtyard garden, which is almost always “fully booked.” An idyll!

In the lovely courtyard of the old farmstead, you can spend the whole day enjoying all things beautiful and delicious: Either head straight to the small but exquisite selection of snacks, fresh “Feuerflecken,” and the house wines after breakfast, or stop by the shop to sample something in between meals!

Traditional, hearty dishes like house-smoked meat and sour sausage are served at this modern restaurant anyway, but they also specialize in seasonal fare and exquisite fish specialties: confit salmon trout and a glass of one of the new PIWI varieties make for a heavenly combination.

In the summer, guests can take a seat in the shade of the apple trees in the beautiful garden; in the winter, the wood-burning stove beckons in the rustic dining room. The menu features hearty, meaty dishes from the neighborhood and homemade spreads, as well as Veltliner, Riesling, and other classic Wachau wines.

The wine is served in the spring and fall, when the whole family shows off what they can do: fresh whites and full-bodied reds, along with sparkling wines, a well-stocked buffet, and, every now and then, parties where the classic Heurigen atmosphere meets modern event culture.

Hannes Hofer is happy to introduce the region’s traditional white wine varieties to the many cyclists and hikers who stop by here. The small garden is just as inviting as the cool stone walls and the classic buffet-style dining at this historic establishment.

At this down-to-earth spot, it’s all about unadulterated enjoyment—between the Hauerjause and the cheese platter, there’s plenty of room to savor the fine Spitzer wines. Connoisseurs time their visit to coincide with apricot season and make sure to grab a slice of the heavenly apricot cake!

The Wagram vineyards produce a wide variety of wines in terms of grape varieties, vineyard sites, and styles. There’s a good selection for fans of spirits, and the snacks cater to every taste. The most beautiful spots are in the lush courtyard.

Modern architecture meets traditional Heurigen culture: minimalist design, down-to-earth culinary classics, and modern takes on Weinviertel specialties—that’s the Stadlers’ recipe for success. In the summer, guests can sit in a lovely rose garden.

In the historic vaulted cellar or the cozy courtyard dining area, you can savor the delicacies lovingly prepared by the owner. If you want to sample the entire selection of wines, it’s best to stay in one of the charming apartments.

This multi-generational business combines style with just the right touch of contemporary flair—a quality that extends to the beautifully renovated interior as well as the kitchen and wine cellar. Alongside classic dishes, creative, modern Heurigen specialties complement the house’s top wines.

At the “Weinerei” in the fairytale-like courtyard, Veltliner and Riesling are the stars. But after a hearty snack, you should also pay attention to the high-proof treasures, because they, too, come in a fine variety—from pear to plum.

Not far from Göttweig Abbey are the Dürauer family’s winery and wine tavern. The whole family pitches in: Sabrina Dürauer prepares classic and creative wine tavern dishes, Josef Dürauer takes care of the wine, and his mother, Maria, bakes delicious pastries.

The picturesque view of the Kamptal Valley provides a stunning backdrop. But the culinary offerings are also impressive: game specialties from the restaurant’s own hunt are served on the snack platter. There are plenty of options for “meatless” foodies as well.

Once the Heurigen wreath is hung, you can enjoy a Hauerjause, a cheese platter, and more, all while learning about the family’s time-honored wine expertise in a relaxed atmosphere. Their knowledge is extensive, as they’ve been working the vineyards for generations.

The word “Galerie” in the name evokes the artistic flair that permeates this Heuriger, which has the cozy atmosphere of a living room. Current exhibitions complement the fine wines and classic delicacies. It’s wonderful to sit in the natural garden surrounded by vineyards as the sun sets.

Once you’ve settled into one of the lovely spots among the vineyards, things take a delightfully creative turn: drink creations made with wine, sparkling water, or verjus! The seasonal specials—often inspired by vegetarian cuisine—complement the menu.

A place to unwind, relax, and enjoy yourself—whether in the garden surrounded by nature or in the modern Heurigen restaurant overlooking the Danube. The kitchen serves traditional Wachau snacks, a variety of seasonal dishes, and exquisite wines from the region’s finest terraced vineyards.

The doors of this beautiful winemaker’s house open only twice a year, but when they do, guests are treated to a wide variety of Veltliner wines or sparkling wine from the estate. These pair perfectly with smoked meats and homemade spreads served with Wachau-style Laberl, as well as fine smoked fish.
