In the heart of the Traisental is the Tom Dockner winery, a prime example of excellence and dedication in the Austrian wine world. The winery is actually located in Theyern and is known for its unique wines, which are characterized by the special geology and mesoclimate of the region. With a long tradition and a deep understanding of nature, Tom Dockner has made a name for himself that is recognized beyond Austria's borders.
Over the last few decades, the Tom Dockner winery has developed into one of the leading businesses in the Traisental valley. Today, the business is run by Tom and Silke Dockner, who are continuing the family's legacy with modern know-how and sustainable methods. Tom Dockner cultivates the vineyards in a very natural and sustainable way. A specially selected mixture of herbs grows between the rows of vines, attracting many beneficial insects and ensuring a healthy climate in the vines. Another milestone in the history of the winery was the conversion to organic viticulture in 2022. This decision underlines the family's commitment to sustainability and quality.
The winery became known for its diverse and high-quality wines. Mainly Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are cultivated, reflecting the unique terroir of the Traisental. The soils consist mainly of calcareous sedimentary rocks, which give the wines a special minerality and depth. The estate's wines have won numerous tastings and competitions. Particularly noteworthy are the Grüner Veltliners from the Hochschopf and Pletzengraben vineyards, which are among the estate's best and oldest sites and impress with their fine minerality and structure.
The Tom Dockner winery is a living example of how tradition and innovation can go hand in hand. With a deep understanding of history and a clear vision for the future, the Dockner family is doing everything it can to continue producing high-quality wines and preserving the estate's heritage. The combination of passion, commitment and an awareness of sustainability makes Weingut Tom Dockner an outstanding representative of Austrian viticulture and a place where history and modernity merge in a wonderful way. As a member of the "Traditionsweingüter Österreich", Tom Dockner's vineyards are also classified. At the very top of the quality scale are the Erste Lagen, which bear the 1ÖTW seal.
