The Best Wine Bars in Lower Austria
Gerhard Hintermayer is a passionate sommelier and his heart beats for the region. With a keen instinct, he discovers the special flavours of each wine and tells the stories behind them. The modern architecture blends harmoniously into the marvellous landscape.
Their personal passion for wine has been expertly translated into a restaurant. Anneliese and Jürgen Geyer's wine shop enriches the scene, even if the selection is not easy given their wine book. In addition, events such as the asparagus menus delight all connoisseurs.
A sophisticated multi-course menu with wine accompaniment or a spontaneous nightcap with fine appetisers - nobody will be disappointed here! Many fine wines are available by the glass. The menu is dominated by Wagram and Wachau wines. Hirtzberger, F.X. Pichler and Jamek are not to be missed.
Front row, foot-free, with a view of the blue Danube - this wine shop impresses with around 4000 exclusive labels. The focus is on the region, but the international range offers almost all the top wines from the world's most famous wine-growing regions. Paradisiacal!
It is a unique combination to which Katharina Graner, as manager, adds extra zest: the ancient monastery vineyard and the panorama of contemporary Thermenregion viticulture leave little to be desired. By the glass or to take away, this centre "rocks"!
Best of the best: natural wines, Third Wave Coffee, craft beer and an impressive selection of sake. The focus is also on quality and responsibility when it comes to unprocessed food. You can also enjoy a genuinely cosy atmosphere - enjoyment with a clear conscience.
At Steigenberger, quality is our top priority - this is reflected in the food and drinks menu. In the middle of the vineyards, in a prime location and with a marvellous view, this is the ideal setting for relaxed tasting of the region's top wines.
Jürgen Steindorfer is close to his homeland and impresses every connoisseur with the quality of the Weinviertel. With a weekly changing menu, he brings the region in all its aromatic facets into the glass. This principle is also reflected in the menu.
"Seek and ye shall find" is perfectly suited to Michael Ulrich, who always goes on a personal voyage of discovery for special wines. "Uli", as all his friends call the wine merchant, gives expert advice, pours and has the right story to go with every drop.
There is a very special message in these bottles: to enjoy life to the full. And that's exactly what the "Postler" celebrate in a glass. Inside, the seating is wonderfully cosy, while outside under the arcades is a special feel-good place that can also be atmospheric.
Wine virtuoso and sommelier Oliver captivates with his stories about the latest discoveries. For him, the Wachau is the gateway to the world: from the best of the region to international wines. There's even a cigar to match the exquisite whisk(e)y and spirits on offer.
120 cocktails, fine beers and a large wine list - all favourites are included, whether classic or creative. The region and its products are especially celebrated with the "Wachauer Sour" with apricot liqueur and apricot brandy or a Bellini with fresh apricot pulp!
The city centre is alive! Despite all the prophecies of doom there are stylish places to spend an evening away from the party mile. Petr Dusek has found his own style at the Aperitivo Al Duomo, but the Italian vibe remains unmistakable which is relaxed with wine and antipasti.
The Vinothek takes you on a flavourful journey from South America to the Spanish islands. With exceptional grape varieties such as Tannat and Torrontés, over 70 types of rum and great tapas - even paella if ordered in advance - every visit becomes a short holiday.
Erich Stierschneider is passionate about Italian food and drink culture. At the same time, he appreciates the best wines from Austria and combines the two to create an exquisite selection of specialities and rarities. For him, quality always takes centre stage.
You don't have to travel all the way to Italy to enjoy fine Mediterranean cuisine. This enoteca and wine bar brings together the best: exquisite wines from varieties such as Schioppettino to Merlot, flint Prosecchi and aperitivo spritz. Curated delicacies are also on offer.
The slate hangs above the bar. But the treasures are hidden in the display case of the venerable pub. If you talk shop with Wolfgang Friedrich, you will find out which rare bottles he would part with. If not, you can have a standing eight like the regulars.
The half-timbered house is no longer home to a railway attendant, but an outpost of Mediterranean cuisine. Gerhard "Harti" Hartmann has found his purpose here. His creations provide a change from the Italian wines, most of which he imports himself.
In one of Austria's most beautiful wine-growing regions, only the best wines find their place in the charming vaulted cellar. The focus is on the region with Wachau wines, but Lorenz Trautsamwieser also selects international varieties with expert flair.
Always relaxed, always a pleasure! Mediterranean flavours not only land on your plate, but also in your glass. The wall of bottles is a real eye-catcher and makes you want to try them. When it comes to Croatian wines, the chef shows what insider knowledge and passion mean.
