"Child friendly" Wineries in Austria
The Schanktage (signs) in front of the pleasure palace are as rare as they are magnificent. Inside, the lamps of the historic building light up, outside, the eyes of wine lovers light up: vintage depth and vineyard wines from Domäne Wachau, exquisite wines from "Friends". And the cuisine is just as good!
The character of southern Styria is perfectly reflected in the Schauer brothers' wines, which are characterised by depth. The snack is also exceptional with ham from the Woazschwein, chili sausages, smoked char, pork brisket and great cake.
The spaciousness of the garden and guest rooms symbolises the variety of wines on offer; there is a glass for everyone, from the sparkling prelude to the "Zistl" and the flagship Rotgipfler "Rodauer". Seasonal specialities provide the "base".
The sisters are a little deep with their own description: "Traditional Heurigen food, combined with our regional wines". Because with ideas and passion, it becomes a top address. The latest coup is the themed wine tavern "Brot & Sprudel".
Courage for innovation and attention to detail not only characterise Stefan Germuth's excellent wines, the philosophy is also reflected in the Buschenschank. In addition to the organic cheese platter, smoked fish and sheep's cheese wrapped in bacon, the pork brisket is a must.
Johanna "Pipsi" Gebeshuber bustles around between the horse stables and the Römermaut, in two parlours of the elongated courtyard. The born hostess makes sure that the fried chicken and oven roast taste good. Or she makes sure that the Zierfandler doesn't run out. Perfect!
The 300-year-old press house with cellar has been lovingly restored with attention to detail - just like the beautiful guest rooms. At the table, the focus is on tasteful classic and biodynamic wines as well as award-winning Pet Nat in multiple versions.
A cosy place of power with a magical garden and a source of sophisticated, creative delights. Classics such as the runner bean salad and Mangalitza snack are just as delicious as the popular savoury Sterz with sour cream and gnocchi. New on offer are the non-alcoholic sparkling teas.
Appetisers made from regional ingredients are served in the shade of the fruit trees to accompany the house wines: cured meats Kübelfleisch and Moastabratl are among the guest favourites, followed by some red wine cake or walnut cake.
The cozy "Kaminstüberl" and the beautiful seats in the conservatory and the Mediterranean garden invite you to linger. In addition to the classics, the kitchen offers creative seasonal dishes: the menu includes spring herbs, summer dishes and display.
A truly idyllic spot in the heart of Carnuntum: under walnut trees, surrounded by vineyards, you sit on simple wooden benches and enjoy the restaurant's own organic wines and unadulterated Heurigen classics. Cult-suspected caraway roast from the wood-fired oven.
Wonderful garden with oleander and shady trees. In addition to a rich Heurigen buffet, chickens and ducks are grilled here on advance order, and in autumn there are also roast geese. The organic wines are of reliable quality.
Three generations are involved - the first non-alcoholic wine also moved in with the partners in the traditionally female-run Heurigen. For traditionalists, there is still the poppy seed cake and the buffet, where you can find companions for "In den Haberln" and co.
The view of the countryside and vineyards is unrivalled and the terrace seats are highly sought after. Crispy home-baked bread is accompanied by Kübelfleisch with horseradish and egg, specialities from the region's dwarf zebu cattle, sour pressed sausage and sweets made according to an old recipe.
Both the wine tavern and the winery (both certified organic) focus uncompromisingly on quality. Its Gemischter Satz is considered one of the best in the city. Tip: There are guided tours of the cellar and tastings in the adjoining tasting room.
The sustainably produced, characterful quality wines can be enjoyed with an incomparable view from the summit of the South Styrian Wine Route. Marinated raw ham platter, cheese and smoked fish are a dream; accompanied by house bread with a crispy crust.
A beautiful inner courtyard, the best wines from the local cellars, top products from their own Angus cattle, organic pigs and display - and the vegetarian options are just right too (pasta salad and taboulé!): This is the Edhofer family's delicious recipe for success.
Wine and pork - the Trummer family knows a thing or two about it. Aromatic Styrian wines are served in a beautiful location, accompanied by delicious sausage and ham specialties. Bread and pastries are also homemade.
At Frühwirth, every regular has their favourite corner - the lawn in front of the house is just as inviting as the tables near the modern vinotheque. The wine plays its part in this, especially as they even score points in the new "discipline" of PIWI: with the Souvignier Gris "Purist".
The family-run winery boasts a panoramic view of the wine country and stands for grown-up wines with depth, while typical classics are served in the Buschenschank. In addition to home-made sausages and sour beef, you should also try specialities from their own game hunts.
