Wine Tavern Guide 2023: Lower Austria
It’s truly idyllic to sit there among the vineyards in the beautiful garden—or in the cozy parlor by the fireplace—and savor down-to-earth dishes, prepared to perfection, paired with top-quality wines: a roast could hardly be better.
The Artner family’s wines rightly enjoy an excellent reputation and are the highlight here. They’re paired with traditional delicacies, especially specialties made from Mangalica pork. In the summer, when the oleanders bloom in the courtyard, the atmosphere is simply magical.
In the charming little Kellergasse, you can sample sparkling wines like the exquisite Blanc de Blanc right where they’re made; of course, the rest of the Dockner portfolio is also represented. You can take a seat right in the middle of the vineyards—it doesn’t get any more idyllic than this.
From the modern wooden cube, the view stretches far across the vineyards of the Kamptal; the verdant panorama serves as a backdrop to the Hager brothers’ organic products: wines typical of the region and seasonal, regional Heurigen cuisine that embraces the world with great creativity.
Fine dining in Heurigen style: wine is celebrated here and combined with cuisine that combines regionality and French sophistication. A visit should be on every gourmet's to-do list!
Slow Food and organic ingredients, local herbs, and fresh vegetables: At her restaurant—with its rustic dining rooms and picturesque courtyard—Johanna Gebeshuber serves cuisine that goes far beyond classic Heurigen fare. In the glass: elegant, refined wines.
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!).
The vast selection of dishes changes with the seasons (game!). To accompany them, enjoy the outstanding wines from Leo Aumann—the white “Rodauner” alongside the top cuvée “Harterberg.” Reservations are recommended despite the restaurant’s size; the “locals” love their Heurigen!
The meal begins with a selection of frizzante wines, followed by wines ranging from fruity to full-bodied (or delicious fruit juices) that perfectly complement the high-quality snack options: pastrami and ham from Thum, a selection of smoked fish, and homemade blood sausages.
As soon as you arrive, you’re spoiled for choice: a cozy parlor, a airy sunroom, or a Mediterranean-style terrace? The culinary variety is also vast, ranging from a traditional Hauer snack to creative dishes (like fish burgers) and seasonal specialties (such as wild garlic crostini).
Nestled among the vineyards lies the idyllic garden of the former wine press house, which has been converted into a unique Heurigen. Here, you can not only enjoy authentic Heurigen snacks and the establishment’s own organic wines, but also admire the sunset.
Simple, yet with all the more attention to detail—that’s how they operate in the cellar, but also at the Heuriger. The result is classic Wagram wine in your glass and homemade dishes made with regional products, along with game (like hare!) from their own hunt on your plate. Both are full of flavor!
