Taggenbrunn, the largest winery in Carinthia, nestled in the picturesque Alpe-Adria landscape, is a refuge for all the senses. The favorable slate soils with special minerality and the sunny southern exposure of the gently undulating vineyards offer optimal conditions for viticulture of the very highest quality. The outstanding wines can be attributed to the special natural conditions in combination with the many years of experience and passion of master winemaker Hubert Vittori. On the castle slope there are vineyard areas that are connected by well-planned, spacious path systems in order to optimize vine care and the exclusively manual grape harvest. The varieties planted are Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Traminer, Muscat, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and Syrah. The owners Andrea and Alfred Riedl rely on sustainability, plant diversity and short transportation routes, while at the same time using state-of-the-art wine production technology.
Taggenbrunn is a popular excursion destination and ideal for events such as romantic weddings. The imposing estate not only includes the castle and the winery, but also an elegant boutique hotel (31 rooms, suites and apartments) with exclusive furnishings. The former Heurigen restaurant next to the hotel was closed in 2024 and the new castle restaurant opened directly in the castle. The area of the former Heurigen restaurant - the Weinbergsaal with the old stone vaults - is currently only used as a breakfast location for hotel guests and as one of the function rooms for events and weddings.
Taggenbrunn charmingly combines wine, enjoyment, culture and history: André Heller's creative signature is already evident on the approach to the Taggenbrunn Castle winery with the "Time Goddess", who seems to watch over the entire estate. He has also curated the multimedia exhibition "Time Spaces" with the world's largest kaleidoscope and exhibits on the themes of environment, movement, light, sound and time at the lavishly renovated Taggenbrunn Castle. The impressive concert hall hosts the annual Taggenbrunn Festival.
