The Danube meanders majestically through Lower Austria, bringing together a world of culinary riches on its banks. From fairytale wine taverns in traditional “Kellergassen” or wine cellar lanes to top restaurants with coveted toques – the variety is impressive. Here, visitors will find not only exquisite wines from the most famous wine-growing regions, but also specialities such as Wachau apricots and fresh Marchfeld asparagus. The region combines rustic hospitality with the sophistication of haute cuisine. An unforgettable experience for the senses, where enjoyment is the focus of every journey along the river.
This setting provides the perfect opportunity to discover the region’s fine flavours – whether at a picnic on the banks of the river or during an evening of culinary delights in one of the many exclusive restaurants. The Danube is more than just a river: here, it is the silent companion of a culinary adventure that embodies the diversity of Europe.
Welcome to the wine-growing regions along the Danube. Some are more urban, others more down-to-earth – but all wine taverns offer a cosy atmosphere. So-called “Kellergassenfeste” or wine cellar lane festivals, wine events, wine shops and wine tastings offer unforgettable experiences.
The Danube region is a true paradise for gourmets. The cultivation of special types of fruit, herbs and vegetables, such as different varieties of wine or Wachau apricots, has a long tradition.
From cosy pubs to exquisite gourmet restaurants: the Danube region offers a wide variety of culinary delights. More than half of the restaurants awarded by Gault Millau attract visitors with exquisite delicacies, complemented by establishments that have been honoured with the highest international award from the Michelin Guide.
