"Exceptional Location" Wineries in Lower Austria
The Schanktage (signs) in front of the pleasure palace are as rare as they are magnificent. Inside, the lamps of the historic building light up, outside, the eyes of wine lovers light up: vintage depth and vineyard wines from Domäne Wachau, exquisite wines from "Friends". And the cuisine is just as good!
Bernd Pulker's oasis of pleasure in an idyllic location has long since ceased to be an insider tip, and the seats in the middle of the vineyard are extremely popular. No wonder: exciting wines of his own and the best from his colleagues - plus a home-made roast that is second to none.
While Matthias Hager's wines also benefit from the diversity of the soils, his brother Hermann demonstrates his skills in the kitchen of the modern wine tavern with its marvellous view: classic dishes with exotic nuances provide exciting counterpoints.
The wines are reason enough for many to come here. In the kitchen, down-to-earth meets modern - in keeping with the contemporary design. For example, the lentil salad is sometimes classic, sometimes Asian-inspired. Top game specialities await in autumn.
The selection is impressive in every respect: cosy seats by the fireplace, enjoyment in the modern dining room or a wonderful view of the distance and the abbey on the terrace? The menu also has it all: a wide variety of wines and juices, plus good game, smoked fish and so on.
A truly idyllic spot in the heart of Carnuntum: under walnut trees, surrounded by vineyards, you sit on simple wooden benches and enjoy the restaurant's own organic wines and unadulterated Heurigen classics. Cult-suspected caraway roast from the wood-fired oven.
A dream location in the heart of Dürnstein! You can experience for yourself how the location affects the flavour with the vineyards as a backdrop to a glass of Veltliner and Riesling. Snacks and pub favourites now play the second leading role in the Heurigen all year round.
An exceptional wine tavern! The focus is on home-made delicacies from the Mangalitza pigs that are kept on the farm: various bacon specialities from loin to lardo as well as blunze and liver spread. There is also good wine from the house and from friends to accompany the pork.
You sit beautifully in front of the house in the Kellergasse and look out over the vineyards or the vegetable garden next door, which also provides a vitamin-rich accompaniment to the smoked meats or sausages on the snack plates. The wines from the best vineyards are also impressive!.
The Zechhaus is a promise. The menu that Sabine Krug and her team offer is huge. While some come for a glass of "temptation", others swear by the apple strudel. For 55 years, body and soul have been catered for in this historic location. Bravo!
At Frühwirth, every regular has their favourite corner - the lawn in front of the house is just as inviting as the tables near the modern vinotheque. The wine plays its part in this, especially as they even score points in the new "discipline" of PIWI: with the Souvignier Gris "Purist".
The beautiful house is surrounded by greenery and offers particularly pleasant seating, lovingly prepared snacks and a friendly pair of sisters who run the kitchen and cellar. The wines are also very appealing; elegant, easy-drinking and versatile.
On fine weather days, it's hard to choose one of the beautiful outdoor seating areas - and then the multi-generational business also serves really good food from the kitchen and cellar: classic Wachau specialities with depth and hearty snacks are also an unbeatable combination!.
From the glassed-in panorama lounge or the pretty guest garden, the beauty of the Wachau landscape is always in view. Variety is the order of the day in the kitchen and cellar; the selection of fine snack delicacies and great Spitzer wines is top notch.
Two women, one goal: Ilse and Christine Mazza conquer the vineyard with concentrated female power. With passion and fresh ideas, they give their wines their very own signature. You can also feel this energy at the Heurigen - especially delicious: the stuffed Weinviertel pralines with beef ham and seed oil.
Blunzn, roasts and more are just as home-made as bread and pastries, while the other delicacies come from regional producers. Twice a week, fresh fire-roasted pies are pulled out of the oven. Fruity Göttweiger wines are served to accompany them.
It is a particularly idyllic spot on earth where the Spitzer Heurigen has made itself at home - and this is also reflected in the atmosphere: the ambience is rustic and informal, accompanied by fine Veltliner and Riesling snacks from top vineyards.
The junior manager is now at the helm in the cellar, but the following still applies: Donabaum's Veltliners are a tip for enjoyment that always delivers what it promises. Meanwhile, the senior chef is in charge of the Heurigen kitchen and serves delicious snacks and delicious desserts.
A hearty breakfast at the winery is the perfect start to the day. Then continue with a delicacy platter or a Feuerfleck. The farm is simply beautiful! And on sunny days, it's the perfect place to enjoy yourself at any time.
The Paradeheurige is idyllically nestled in the countryside. Ingrid Groiss is considered one of the best local winegrowers - so first-class wines are guaranteed. The parents, who run the wine tavern with love, provide the appropriate catering.
