Vienna is unique: the city is home to the only wine-growing region in the world that lies entirely within the boundaries of a large city and helps shape the atmosphere of the city thanks to its unique wine and winemaking tradition.
Weingut Wien Cobenzl is one of Vienna's most important wine-growing estates and has been owned by the City of Vienna for over 110 years. Outstanding quality wines are produced here from around 60 hectares of vineyards in Grinzing, on the Nussberg and on the Bisamberg. The unique microclimate with Pannonian influence and the proximity to the Danube are the ideal conditions for fine, fruity, mineral wines. The vineyards with illustrious names such as Ried Pfeffer, Ried Seidenhaus and Ried Bellevue ("Beautiful View") have always been among the best in the city.
A wide range of quality wines is offered in accordance with the size and variety of sites and grape varieties: The regional and local wines are deliberately somewhat lighter, with stimulating fruit and designed as uncomplicated accompaniments to food. The single-vineyard wines and the "ÖTW Erste Lage" wines fascinate with their complexity, finesse and the terroir typical of their origin.
The City of Vienna Winery was one of the first domestic wineries to receive the prestigious "Sustainable Austria" award. The individual sustainability measures range from grape production and work in the vineyard to environmentally friendly electricity generation from solar energy.
Weingut Wien Cobenzl has also been certified organic since December 2023. This means that wines from the 2023 vintage will also be available with the organic label.
