Heurigen & Buschenschankguide 2025: Top 10 Wines
A powerful combination: the magnificent Schlössl as a backdrop, outstanding cuisine, and a wine list that is expanded every year to include rare wines—not just from the restaurant’s own cellar. Any criticism? Yes—we’d love to have this magical trio available even more days!
It’s truly idyllic to sit there among the vineyards in the beautiful garden—or in the cozy parlor by the fireplace—and savor down-to-earth dishes, prepared to perfection, paired with top-quality wines: a roast could hardly be better.
The Artner family’s wines rightly enjoy an excellent reputation and are the highlight here. They’re paired with traditional delicacies, especially specialties made from Mangalica pork. In the summer, when the oleanders bloom in the courtyard, the atmosphere is simply magical.
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.
Like Viennese wine in general, the wine from Mauer has also taken a leap in quality. A great example of this is Edlmoser. Tip: Try the offal and roast pork from Hödl—Vienna’s last butcher who still slaughters his own animals. Pair it with a glass of natural wine!
Steffi and Edi Tscheppe have created a place that is more than just a Heuriger—it’s a way of life that’s constantly evolving. Other people also get involved in pop-up specials, keeping the concept alive. “Naturals” are always a staple part of the experience.
In the charming little Kellergasse, you can sample sparkling wines like the exquisite Blanc de Blanc right where they’re made; of course, the rest of the Dockner portfolio is also represented. You can take a seat right in the middle of the vineyards—it doesn’t get any more idyllic than this.
Dining at a table in the garden under the tall trees is a real treat, or you can enjoy a meal in the dining rooms with their wooden beams and tiled stoves. Special delicacies like fennel salami made from free-range pork or ceviche made from Styrian mountain salmon are a delight. Good, mineral-rich wines.
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!
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.
