The Best Wine Bars in Lower Austria
Anyone on holiday in Retz is of course always well advised to visit the nearby wineries. However, going to the wine shop on the main square works just as well for a taste of the region. 50 listed winemakers with 300 wines are the best argument for this.
Bright, modern and well-stocked - this is how the regional wine shop on the old market square in Kirchberg/Wagram is seeing in its 15th year. Where some of these wines come from can be seen behind the wine shop - the characteristic loess wall are visible there. The gastronomic delights are also rewarding!
This is how you imagine a wine shop: 4000 wines from all over the world, plus unusual accessories and exquisite spirits. For more than 20 years, the family business on the Danube has been making wine lovers' eyes light up - and not just from the Wachau region.
You almost feel as if you are in the vineyards as you sit on the romantic terrace. The wines from the menu, which includes many from Wachau, are also close enough to touch. If it rains, the "Smaragd" wine bar is a good option.
As a host, Marcus Tomschitz has already managed seaside hotels and pork temples. So he knows his way around gourmet dishes - in this case from his Italian friends. Only what the padrone himself would drink is served with the delicious antipasti.
200 wines, 40 winemakers and 30 options by the glass - the legendary wine archive of the nation's second oldest winery is not the only place that has plenty to offer. The monks' former "Grangie" (= reading yard) is now a wine tasting area in the youngest DAC region.
You should always give your palate a change and send it on a journey to the unknown. Florian Ehn acts as a sensory tour guide and offers lots of unusual things: from orange wines and artisan beers to sake, his passion.
Lukas Humer and Rafael Reisser want to "give the wine a stage". Word has gotten around that it is the regional dishes ("Weinhaus-Kleinigkeiten") that score points alongside the "best of" the Wagram winegrowers. Remarkable selection of aged white wine!
Château Latours all the way back to the 1970s? The 40-page map of this new addition will make you rub your eyes. Anneliese and Jürgen Geyer have given all connoisseurs a home with their great passion for wine. Prosciutto and olives to nibble included.
25 years of wine knowledge show that guests can expect concentrated expertise. Wines from Austria are recommended as well as great wines from the three wine nations of France, Italy, Spain and the New World. If you are looking for a special wine, you will find it.
In the oxblood-red Bürgerhaus, the glasses are also often filled in red - with bitter aperitifs or Amarone. Petr Dusek also continues the sparkling legacy of his predecessor with Prosecco. The crostini are outstanding; the Italian illusion at the Dom is complete.
A dream realised at home. With a bar, small kitchen and vinotheque, Helena Jordan brings her favourite wines to the Mostviertel. Natural, orange, classic - the important things are sincerity and lack of dogma. She brings her experience from Tian, Maaemo and Juan Amador in her luggage.
"Kremstal vs. Kamptal" is just one example of the formats that arise in this meeting point for fine wines from five white wine regions. Of course, the extensive menu is also stocked with wines from abroad, but when it comes to this specialism, the Platzhirsch is second to none.
The pubs where you can get classics like minced roast with mashed potatoes for ten euros still exist. The clientele is a colourful mix, as it should be. Directors, professors and workers all enjoy the ambience, the humour and Wolfgang Friedrich's wine selection.
Gerhard "Harti" Hartmann's cuisine and cellar are constantly evolving along with his travels. While the wine in the half-timbered house remains the core competence of Italy, the dishes are as colourful as the concerts: truffled carrot meets Vietnamese fish cake.
Experience the Weinviertel with all your senses. Many local farmers supply the food that is turned into hearty delicacies in the kitchen. The attentive team also serves the best Weinviertel wines. Wonderful setting with historic cellars.
In this historic cellar with stone vault is stored an assortment of 20,000 bottles of wine, including, of course, the best drops from the Weinviertel. For the small and larger hunger, down-to-earth and Mediterranean specialties are served. The guest garden is a wonderful oasis in summer.
Fans of Italian cuisine don't have to think twice about whether they would rather go to Italy or to "Magazzino". Such a good selection of delicacies and wines is hard to find across the border. So calibrate your palate for a holiday and: La vita è bella!
When the Kalmuck says "clear the stage", you can look forward to an energetic evening of live music. A look at the cocktail and wine list is also a pleasure. The selection of drinks is excellent and the ambience in the guest garden is very fine.
You could almost feel a fresh sea breeze as you enter, the Mediterranean-inspired dishes are so delicious. The vacation feeling continues in the wine list. Simply order a bottle, drink a glass and flick the switch to holiday mode.
