In the footsteps of great wines
Welcome to one of Europe's most fascinating wine regions! Between the banks of the Danube, sunny terraced vineyards and characterful wine cellar lanes, a wine culture unfolds that is as tradition-conscious as it is enjoyable. The Wachau and Krems Valley ("Kremstal" in German) are internationally renowned for their world-class wines – shaped by unique locations, careful craftsmanship and centuries of winemaking tradition.
Whether in a cosy wine tavern, discovering small wineries or visiting modern wine shops – here you can experience wine. Numerous cellar lane festivals, wine events and guided tastings invite you to enjoy the diversity of Grüne Veltliner, Riesling & Co.
The new season kicks off every year with the Wine Spring, when winegrowers open their cellars and present the first samples of the new vintage. The region is particularly atmospheric in the Wine Autumn, when the vineyards are bathed in golden light and harvest festivals celebrate the cycle of the year.
All current wine tavern dates in the region can be found in the handy online wine tavern calendar – perfect for spontaneous pleasure tours along the Danube.
