Take a seat in front of the beautiful pleasure palace in the vineyards, the delicacies are as numerous and varied as the wines: Federspiele and Smaragde wines plus international gems - curated by Roman Horvath, MW. No wonder tables are in high demand!

Dürnstein 107, 3601 Dürnstein, Austria

Bernd Pulker is a wine freak of the radical kind and his Heuriger has long been a cult restaurant. On warm days, caravans of hungry day-trippers sit in the garden to enjoy the best roast pork between Vienna and Bregenz - and the rare wines.

Rührsdorfer Kellergasse, 3602 Rührsdorf, Austria

Heuriger is somewhat off the beaten track, but whether you choose the various specialties from Pannonian Mangalitza pork, the Viennese ham or the creative salads, everything is excellent. You can also enjoy sitting in the beautiful inner courtyard or the barn of the old farmhouse.

Dorfstraße 43, 2465 Höflein, Austria

Spacious Heurigen restaurant with several parlours and a cozy courtyard. The kitchen serves both Heurigen classics and innovative creations. You can also choose from a large selection of wines from the famous Kremstal winery.

Ortsstraße 30, 3508 Höbenbach, Austria

Pretty, modern Heuriger in the cellar lane at Frauengrund, not far from Krems. From the terrace and in the garden you can enjoy down-to-earth delicacies surrounded only by vineyards - where the base wines for the house's sparkling wines also grow.

Schweren-Zapfen-Weg, 3506 Krems at the Donau, Austria

The Alphart family has always run the winery and wine tavern with a good mix of tradition, regionality and quality awareness. Culinary variety, often enjoyed in the courtyard, and of course the "Rodauner" as the star in the cellar call for a convivial get-together.

Wiener Straße 46, 2514 Traiskirchen, Austria

A family dedicated to enjoyment: Cathi has mature cheeses in her portfolio, while brother Lorenz is responsible for the vintage depth of the wines - by the bottle at the Heurigen! - is provided by brother Lorenz. The green courtyard and take-away delicacies complete the overall gastronomic package.

Wassergasse 7–9, 2514 Traiskirchen, Austria

A Heuriger with a star chef and exquisite local and international wines is certainly unique. In addition to delicious fine dining, there are also down-to-earth Heurigen classics. Stylish interior, a cozy courtyard and the best service included.

Walterstraße 14, 3550 Langenlois, Austria

The Weinbeisserei was one of the first designer wine taverns in the region. The view is sensational, and the biodynamically produced wines have long been considered top-quality. The excellent Heurigen fare is also very tempting.

Altweg 5, 3562 Mollands, Austria

This cult tavern in Weißenkirchen is only open for a few days once a year. And during this time, everyone who knows the place is on their feet to catch a free spot. Because the wine is so good and the food is sensational.

Kremser Straße 1, 3610 Weißenkirchen in der Wachau, Austria

Three pillars are important to the hostess par excellence, Johanna "Pipsi" Gebeshuber, in the spacious old winegrower's house: regionality, organic and slow food products. The cuisine builds on these pillars, and not just with the oven roast to accompany the local wines.

Wiener Straße 1, 2352 Gumpoldskirchen, Austria

A family business with a 400 year old history is a must to visit! Bernhard Ecker's wines are getting better and better, and Heurigen dishes have been appreciated here for their quality for years, such as the caraway roast with mustard dressing and wild garlic capers.

Mitterstockstall 25, 3470 Kirchberg am Wagram, Austria

Raphael-Donner-Gasse 19, 3400 Klosterneuburg, Austria

The first organic winery in Carnuntum not only masters the art of winemaking, but also cooks with love and skill: guests travel long distances for the caraway roast from the wood-fired oven, as well as for the beautiful seating in the garden.

Zwetschkenzipf 12, 2464 Arbesthal, Austria

Thanks to the variety of Veltliner and Riesling wines, you can see for yourself how the location affects the taste. Snacks and tavern classics are also served to a high standard in the fantastically located wine tavern. The barbecue is fired up at weekends.

Anzuggasse 237, 3601 Dürnstein, Austria

The Aumann family's wines and wine tavern have long been known far beyond the borders of the Thermenregion. The modern wine tavern serves dishes that you would otherwise only find in top restaurants. Plus: idyllic guest garden.

Oberwaltersdorfer Straße 105, 2512 Tribus angle, Austria

Traditional Kellergassen-Heuriger with a view of the vineyards. From smoked meats to surfleisch and Blunzn - most of the Heurigen products are homemade according to old family recipes. The in-house Qualitätswein wine comes from the Kamptal and Wagram.

Obernholz 25, 3491 Obernholz, Austria

The unadorned Heuriger opens its doors three times a year. The wines, which are characterised by the Wagramer Lössterrassen, are served with down-to-earth Heurigen snacks from selected producers in the region and sometimes from their own hunt (hare ragout!).

Rathausplatz 19, 3465 Königsbrunn am Wagram, Austria

300-year-old family owned winery. The Heurigen not only serves the widely appreciated white Burgundy wines, but also hearty Heurigen fare. Much of the food is made in-house, including a poppy seed cake made according to grandma's recipe.

Only people with personality and character produce wines with character. They are also served with the appropriate delicacies: organic fish and meat variations, vegetables and homemade pastries (based on family recipes!) are appreciated.

Pottendorfer Straße 14, 2523 Tattendorf, Austria

Kiragstettn 24 has always been a great place to enjoy a good meal. The fact that "Karo" Taferner is back in charge of the bar with the motto "We're doing it ourselves again" closes the circle - until 2008, the restaurant served its own food under the distinctive walnut tree. A good start!

Pfarrgasse 2, 2464 Göttlesbrunn, Austria

Jürgen Steindorfer restored the restaurant within the historic walls of the old Laa town hall. The result: a harmonious, modern bar and store with wines from well-known Weinviertel winegrowers and creative regional specialties such as the popular "Trios".

Stadtplatz 17, 2136 Laa an der Thaya, Austria

Three generations of the Krug family live the Heurigen culture with heart and soul in the historic Zechhaus. The core of traditional dishes is extended in a sophisticated way, and the wine selection is already plentiful. Their own aperitifs and schnapps round off the offer.

Kirchenplatz 1, 2352 Gumpoldskirchen, Austria

The classic Heurigen benches and the vine-covered pergola make for a particularly cosy place to sit. A picture-book Heurigen courtyard - perfect for relaxed, balmy summer evenings with a good glass of wine and typical Heurigen delicacies.
