"Barrier-free" Wineries in Vienna
It’s well known that his wines are world-class. What’s less well known is that all of Fritz Wieninger’s wines are biodynamic. The location of the wine tavern is also world-class, offering one of the most spectacular views of the city and the buffet. Tip: Try the daily specials and vegan options.
Everything is just right at Wieninger’s. The lush courtyard and rustic dining rooms invite you to linger, and the buffet is superbly stocked. Schnitzel and cordon bleu are also on the menu. And then there are the wines, including large bottles (“Grand Select”). To go with it? The “Winzerkönig” platter!
The motto, “Sievering is great,” is brought to life by the Kroiss family through their zest for life, homemade food, and equally delicious—and always fine—Viennese wines. In this old-school establishment, what counts is real food, real wine, and real money. And, of course, real people.
Excellent cuisine, great wines—all organic. The whites are light, crisp, and dry; the reds are always more elegant than full-bodied. Guided vineyard walks, exclusive cellar tours, and guided tastings. A wonderful tasting room and a large outdoor dining area.
“Herrgott aus Sta” is one of the most famous songs by the legendary Karl Hodina. He performed here when he was just a little boy—and the restaurant was named in his honor. Roast pork or pork knuckle (by advance order) are served with wine from Leth and Pittnauer.
In the natural garden, guests can enjoy traditional dishes prepared according to old family recipes, paired with Stefan and Alexander Fuchs’s award-winning natural wines. Regulars particularly appreciate the full-bodied Cabernet Franc and the light-bodied Pinot Noir.
Vienna’s oldest Heuriger (1740) has welcomed guests such as Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss Sr., the Schrammels, Franz Lehár, Emmerich Kálmán, and Robert Stolz. An impressive buffet, with wine from the owners, Fuhrgassl-Huber. Cozy dining rooms and an idyllic courtyard.
In the shade of the ancient plane tree on the sprawling grounds at the foot of the Bisamberg, guests are served, among other things, generously assembled buffet menus. To accompany them, we recommend a bottle or two of the house’s meticulously crafted “Gemischter Satz.”
Oberlaa is still considered something of an oddity among Vienna’s wine-growing regions, yet there’s plenty to discover here. For example, the somewhat unique “Gemischter Satz” or various red wines (the excellent “Schankachterl”). The buffet offers a good selection, and the fried chicken is always golden brown and crispy.
Located in the heart of Alt-Ottakring, the business is currently run by the sixth generation of the family. The vines are planted on the Wilhelminen and Heuberg hills, and the multi-award-winning wines are bottled using natural methods. Specialty: half a duck (by advance order).
“Look forward to a glass of happiness,” is the motto. That’s not hard to do at this iconic establishment with its Romanesque garden and its many anecdotes. Regular Leopold Figl, for example, prepared for the negotiations on the State Treaty here.
Outside in Hetzendorf, traffic is bustling frantically—inside the courtyard, under the ancient poplar trees, Bavarian organic pioneer Marc Mössmer serves up fish and chips, ceviche, and more. The ingredients come from the Waldviertel region, and the Steckerlfisch has achieved true cult status.
The only Heuriger on Landstraße has a very traditional feel. The atmosphere is rustic, and so is the cuisine. The portions are generous; spare ribs and cordon bleu are popular here. To go with your meal, you can enjoy house wine by the glass or a Hubertus beer on tap.
Richard Lentner, the third generation to run the family-owned business on Jedlersdorfer Platz, produces a wide variety of high-quality wines from six hectares of vineyards on the Bisamberg. Idyllic courtyard, homemade cuisine. Also worth noting: the “Gleichgepresste.”
Martin, the owner’s son, guarantees a great atmosphere in the cozy dining room and the sunny outdoor seating area. A cold and hot, seasonally inspired Heurigen buffet, plus eight wines by the glass, are additional highlights. There’s also a covered playhouse for children.
Kierlinger is a name to be reckoned with; wines from the Nussberg’s select vineyards are pure poetry. On hot days, old chestnut and linden trees provide shade. Culinary traditions are celebrated with time-honored family recipes. Must-tries: Kierlinger-Liptauer and Backhendl.
Wine, fruit, and the cozy wine tavern are the Strauchs’ pride and joy. The current wine recommendation includes, among others, the Grüner Veltliner “Hausweingartl” 2025. Specialties include Dirndl syrup and the house-made “Medizin” (= Nusserner). Cold buffet.
This small but charming, traditionally styled wine tavern has a very cozy, family-like atmosphere. The food consists of tried-and-true, homemade cold Heurigen specialties; the wines come from the Bisamberger Ried “Oberer Jungenberg.” Popular items include a variety of spreads and cakes!
In the shade of old chestnut trees or in the historic vaulted cellar, owner Claudia Maly-Schaber serves homemade dishes and a selection of wines. Popular dishes: raw vegetable platters, Maly salt sticks with ham, cheese, and horseradish, ground pork patties, roast pork, and desserts!
An insider’s tip for nearly a quarter-century: tapas with wild herbs and plants, “wild” salads, and fine wines (Orange Veltliner) from the best vineyards on the Bisamberg. The homemade, smoked bread is fantastic! Tip: Herb and wild plant cooking workshops.
