"Exceptional Location" 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!
Bernd Pulker's oasis of pleasure in an idyllic location has long since ceased to be an insider tip, and the seats in the middle of the vineyard are extremely popular. No wonder: exciting wines of his own and the best from his colleagues - plus a home-made roast that is second to none.
A Viennese parade tavern, as there are not many: the location with a view over the whole of Vienna is breathtakingly beautiful, Fritz Wieninger's wines are among the absolute top class and the buffet is rich in top gastronomic products. What more could you want?
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.
Always a pleasure! Helmut Krenek in the kitchen creates top-class tavern dishes. The fried chicken and roast pork could not be better. Served with organic wines from the Göbel winery, which go perfectly with this cuisine.
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.
While Matthias Hager's wines also benefit from the diversity of the soils, his brother Hermann demonstrates his skills in the kitchen of the modern wine tavern with its marvellous view: classic dishes with exotic nuances provide exciting counterpoints.
Although Tyrolean-born Norbert Walter spent a long time working in cheese production, he has lived in Vienna since 1989. He has been running his wine tavern on the Bisamberg since 2004. Burgundy varieties thrive particularly well there, and of course there is Tyrolean bacon and cheese to go with it.
"Cool" Heuriger in the middle of the vineyards with a view of the city. The buffet is rich in high-quality snacks such as the fabulously good mackerel tartare. The wine selection is also rather unconventional, including some natural wines.
The wines are reason enough for many to come here. In the kitchen, down-to-earth meets modern - in keeping with the contemporary design. For example, the lentil salad is sometimes classic, sometimes Asian-inspired. Top game specialities await in autumn.
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.
The selection is impressive in every respect: cosy seats by the fireplace, enjoyment in the modern dining room or a wonderful view of the distance and the abbey on the terrace? The menu also has it all: a wide variety of wines and juices, plus good game, smoked fish and so on.
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.
Honest home cooking with sophistication is served, complemented by Pannonian delicacies such as a genuine Szeged goulash, which is rarely found today. The large, seasonal selection is just as impressive as the consistently high quality.
Jürgen Trummer's wines benefit from shell limestone soils, but also from the winemaker's expertise and flair - the Morillon is a must-taste! Mom provides the accompaniment from the kitchen in the form of juicy ribs and hearty snacks.
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.
The legendary wines from Polz would be reason enough for a visit, but the wine tavern culture is also raised to a new level: the atmosphere is stylish and enjoyable, while you feast on snacks and grandma's homemade Buchteln.
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.
A dream location in the heart of Dürnstein! You can experience for yourself how the location affects the flavour with the vineyards as a backdrop to a glass of Veltliner and Riesling. Snacks and pub favourites now play the second leading role in the Heurigen all year round.
