Wine Tavern Guide 2023: Top 10 most beautiful views
This rustic, cozy wine tavern serves regional, homemade specialties. In addition to the classics, guests can enjoy delicacies such as Styrian Iberico pork, smoked chicken breast, and air-dried Muskateller raw ham. Excellent wines.
While the view from the Nussberg is already breathtaking, it’s even more spectacular from the Wailand wine tavern, located slightly higher up. The quality of the wines offered here by the well-known journalist is also almost unmatched. It’s all well worth the short climb!
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.
Wood, sandstone, and a stylish design create a modern atmosphere; thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, you feel as if you’re sitting right in the middle of the vineyard even when you’re indoors. Delicious dishes made from the restaurant’s own pork and Weinviertel prosciutto prove to be a wonderful complement to the harmonious wines.
Whether in the garden with its colorful array of flowers, in the old wine press house, or next to the tiled stove—they all exude the cozy charm of Southern Styria. The Brettljause is the crowning touch to the experience. The ancient rock soils of Sausal give the wines their fresh, mineral character.
The terrace alone is extraordinary; from high above, you can look out over the steep vineyards. The “Brüstl” made according to Grandma Resi’s recipe and the homemade pastries from owner Heidi are highlights. Their own wines are also absolutely outstanding.
From the modern wooden cube, the view stretches far across the vineyards of the Kamptal; the verdant panorama serves as a backdrop to the Hager brothers’ organic products: wines typical of the region and seasonal, regional Heurigen cuisine that embraces the world with great creativity.
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.
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.
Casual modernity and warm coziness go hand in hand; from the terrace, you’re at eye level with the steep vineyards. The plate of marinated raw ham, cheese, and smoked fish tastes outstanding, and the house-baked bread with its crispy crust is the perfect accompaniment.
