"Only Buffet" Wineries in Lower Austria
The winery has been family-owned for over 305 years. Today, just as in the past, the standards are high: The organic grapes grow in the “open-air workshop” and are gently transformed into wine, which is best enjoyed with local delicacies in the Heurigen garden.
A small door leads to the cozy garden, while the spacious interior offers even more room, where the lavishly stocked buffet awaits as the heart of the Heuriger. Seasonal specialties, such as asparagus in the spring, can be enjoyed alongside the top wines from “Pepi” Piriwe.
Sooßer is a flagship establishment with two wine lines: the classic line centered around the robust red wine “Spada,” and the wines from the two daughters—aka the “Sword Bearers.” They’re a delight to enjoy in the cozy courtyard garden, which is almost always “fully booked.” An idyll!
There’s plenty of space, and you’ll need it: On nice days, even the very last table in the garden is taken. That’s when guests are happy to head inside to the dining room or the sunroom—it’s always worth it. A wine tavern buffet, seasonal dishes, and fresh pastries are always on the menu.
A cohesive overall concept where everything—from the wine (Riesling!) to the cuisine to the ambiance—comes together perfectly. The classics of Heurigen cuisine are always on the menu, complemented by seasonal specials: goose, asparagus, and game season regularly bring new culinary highlights.
If you’d like to spend a few pleasant hours with a glass of wine in hand, you should head to the Genussbuschenschank in Sooß on Fridays or Saturdays. To go with the fine wine, they serve equally delicious food: homemade Heurigen classics and all kinds of vegetarian dishes.
With a stunning view of the Korneuburg Basin right before your eyes and a glass of crisp Veltliner on the table, the world suddenly seems just right. And when a snack of regional delicacies is served, your trip to the Heurigen is perfect.
The wine is served in the spring and fall, when the whole family shows off what they can do: fresh whites and full-bodied reds, along with sparkling wines, a well-stocked buffet, and, every now and then, parties where the classic Heurigen atmosphere meets modern event culture.
Hannes Hofer is happy to introduce the region’s traditional white wine varieties to the many cyclists and hikers who stop by here. The small garden is just as inviting as the cool stone walls and the classic buffet-style dining at this historic establishment.
They call themselves “the younger generation,” but they’ve long been established and experienced in managing vineyards, wine taverns, and everything that goes with them. The cold buffet remains a staple, always complemented by seasonal offerings. A classic: house-made aspic made from domestic or wild boar.
The display case is packed to the brim with spreads, antipasti, and all kinds of Heurigen delicacies, and there’s also a menu featuring hot dishes—everything’s been taken care of for every eventuality. A second trip to the buffet is well worth it, if only for the desserts.
One of the oldest families in Perchtoldsdorf, whose wine tavern has grown over the years and is now one of the most popular in town. Once it opens, it fills up quickly. There’s a large buffet with hot dishes; the game and lamb dishes are especially delicious.
Whether it’s meat, fish, vegetarian, cold, hot, or sweet—“der Guga” covers an amazing range of dishes with Grandma’s recipes. Even pasta and curry make the menu. It’s precisely this unique mix that makes the place so appealing and keeps it consistently busy.
The word “Galerie” in the name evokes the artistic flair that permeates this Heuriger, which has the cozy atmosphere of a living room. Current exhibitions complement the fine wines and classic delicacies. It’s wonderful to sit in the natural garden surrounded by vineyards as the sun sets.
Mathias and Iris Ramberger run the five-hectare winery together, focusing on wines they produce themselves that are typical of the region. These pair perfectly with the hot and cold delicacies from the Heurigen buffet, best enjoyed in the cozy courtyard.
The family has two goals: to ensure the vines thrive and that guests enjoy the food. Every Saturday and Sunday, you can sit on the veranda or the large terrace overlooking the vineyards and see for yourself that they succeed in both. Great seasonal cuisine!
Ten years ago, the younger generation took the reins at the farm. Their goal is to preserve the traditional Heurigen culture while also bringing in fresh ideas. The pork comes from their own farm, and they place a strong emphasis on in-house production and regional ingredients in all other aspects as well.
A modern Heuriger that still upholds traditional Heuriger culture. The buffet features both cold and hot local classics. These are paired with wines typical of the region—first and foremost, of course, Grüner Veltliner, the Weinviertel’s signature variety.
For nearly 70 years, this place has been serving up food and wine. The Heurige is widely known for its Blunzen, Presswurst, Grammelknödel, and roast pork, all prepared according to Grandma’s recipes. These dishes are served with fresh, regional Weinviertel wine.
Here to stay: Whether you’re a meat lover, a poultry fan, or a vegetarian, the large buffet offers regional specialties to suit every taste—so you’ll want to linger a little longer in the dining room or the beautiful courtyard. Sinfully delicious desserts!
