The new management team has made this prime spot on the Danube even more welcoming. Right next to the Riede Superin, the wines from the “Tegernseerhof” taste even better! The many seating areas along the historic wall or on the terrace are inviting (deck chairs!).

It’s no wonder that the wines from the estate’s top vineyards have won so many awards—after all, they benefit from the expertise of two generations. The delicate snacks—a specialty of the senior owner—are sure to delight, not to mention the pastries…

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.

Rührsdorf 22, 3602 Rossatz, Austria

This lovingly run country house in the vineyards of Kottingbrunn is a picturesque hidden gem for lovers of romance and vintage style, as well as couples planning a wedding who are looking for an extraordinary venue. Excellent food, delicious drinks.

The Danube, apricot trees, and vineyards—all of the Wachau’s attractions lie right on the doorstep of this beautiful farmstead, as if painted there. There, the international Heurigen tapas are perfect for sampling. The only thing you usually don’t want to share is Grandma’s roast pork.

Mitterarnsdorf 72, 3621 Mitterarnsdorf, Austria

It’s impossible to miss that people here “enjoy wine”: Andreas Heggenberger’s wines frequently take the top spots at wine competitions. At the Heuriger, Sigrid serves up delicious dishes, such as Hauer cutlets or baked cauliflower.

Badner Straße 6, 2523 Tattendorf, Austria

An idyllic garden awaits on the banks of the Danube, yet you almost find yourself wishing for bad weather—because then the atmosphere by the fireplace inside becomes even cozier. In addition to classic tavern dishes like Blunzenlaibchen and Backhendl, they also serve risotto and homemade gnocchi.

Hundsheim 55, 3512 Mautern an der Donau, Austria

You can really feel the breath of fresh air at the spot across from the riding arena (as the older folks recall). “Elektro Rosé,” for example, brings a new twist, but during regular hours, Lukas Döller revives the traditional charm of a Buschenschank. It’s not just the “locals” who appreciate it.

Eichbüchler Straße 43, 2801 Katzelsdorf, Austria

A charming Heurigen in the heart of the Wachau. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling come from the premier vineyards of Achleiten and Klaus—and the ingredients for the down-to-earth Heurigen snacks are also sourced from the region. A beautiful vaulted cellar and a cozy garden!
