"Exceptional Location" Wineries in Lower Austria

Take a seat in front of the beautiful pleasure palace in the vineyards, the delicacies are as numerous and varied as the wines: Federspiele and Smaragde wines plus international gems - curated by Roman Horvath, MW. No wonder tables are in high demand!

Bernd Pulker is a wine freak of the radical kind and his Heuriger has long been a cult restaurant. On warm days, caravans of hungry day-trippers sit in the garden to enjoy the best roast pork between Vienna and Bregenz - and the rare wines.

Spacious Heurigen restaurant with several parlours and a cozy courtyard. The kitchen serves both Heurigen classics and innovative creations. You can also choose from a large selection of wines from the famous Kremstal winery.

The Weinbeisserei was one of the first designer wine taverns in the region. The view is sensational, and the biodynamically produced wines have long been considered top-quality. The excellent Heurigen fare is also very tempting.

This cult tavern in Weißenkirchen is only open for a few days once a year. And during this time, everyone who knows the place is on their feet to catch a free spot. Because the wine is so good and the food is sensational.

Modern wine tavern with a cozy lounge area, a terrace with a magnificent view over Klosterneuburg and a secluded garden. In addition to cold Heurigen classics, the restaurant also serves seasonal dishes such as forkfuls of asparagus and prawns.

Thanks to the variety of Veltliner and Riesling wines, you can see for yourself how the location affects the taste. Snacks and tavern classics are also served to a high standard in the fantastically located wine tavern. The barbecue is fired up at weekends.

The first organic winery in Carnuntum not only masters the art of winemaking, but also cooks with love and skill: guests travel long distances for the caraway roast from the wood-fired oven, as well as for the beautiful seating in the garden.

Traditional Kellergassen-Heuriger with a view of the vineyards. From smoked meats to surfleisch and Blunzn - most of the Heurigen products are homemade according to old family recipes. The in-house Qualitätswein wine comes from the Kamptal and Wagram.

Three generations of the Krug family live the Heurigen culture with heart and soul in the historic Zechhaus. The core of traditional dishes is extended in a sophisticated way, and the wine selection is already plentiful. Their own aperitifs and schnapps round off the offer.

Alexandra and Martin Donabaum run the Heurigen, which is beautifully situated in the middle of vineyards. Martin provides white wines full of character from the cool Spitzer vineyards, while Alexandra, a trained restaurateur, looks after her guests with home-made, cold delicacies.

Anyone sitting in the garden here can enjoy a truly magnificent view over the Weißenkirchen vineyards. The wine tavern has been converted from an old press house. Recommended: boiled Waldviertel beef with a fine marinade and seed oil.

On Saturdays, the idyllic inner courtyard serves homemade Weinviertel wines and down-to-earth, cold dishes as well as sandwiches or pizza (also vegetarian). The parlour has been tastefully renovated and furnished in shabby chic style. Lounge Wednesday in summer!

The wines come from famous Spitzer vineyards such as Bruck and Setzberg, while the produce for the hearty Heurigen dishes is sourced locally. In fine weather, you can enjoy all this in a pretty forecourt with a view of the Wachau's unique terraced vineyards.

The countered circular terrace offers a magnificent view of Dürnstein in the Wachau with its famous blue church tower. You can also enjoy a traditional Hauerjause snack and local white wines from the southern banks of the Wachau (such as Ried Steiger).

In addition to the fruity wines, the homemade lemonades are popular thirst quenchers. The kitchen serves good food from its own mangalitzas, and classic Heurigen fare is given an extremely creative twist here: e.g. vegan potato roulade with hummus!

Junior Christoph Donabaum has been running the winery since 2020. The wine tavern is popular, among other things, because of the senior manager's highly ambitious wine tavern cuisine. She mainly uses products from the region and makes - widely known - magnificent pastries.

The simple, modern architecture of the Heurigen, which opened in 2008, immediately catches the eye. The gastronomic focus is on contemporary interpretations of traditional Heurigen dishes, but also incorporates classics. The wines are mainly from Höflein.

Host Erich is a perfectionist when it comes to wine. Veltliner, Zweigelt and Chardonnay are at the top of his range, but his portfolio also includes ice wine. You can taste all of these alongside the classic delicacies at the Heurigen, of course.

Whether for tourists or locals, this traditional wine tavern is a popular destination near Göttweig Abbey. Homemade, down-to-earth Heurigen snacks from selected producers, natural homemade, sourdough bread and their own wines.
