You don't have to travel far to experience a truly beautiful end to the day: With new programs, the Weinviertel is attracting guests from the surrounding area - i.e. the city of Vienna - for a short or weekend trip. Some things develop of their own accord: The "Sunset Tasting", started as a test, will become a fixed program this year.

Good wine and delicious food have always guaranteed the rise of Weinviertel tourism. One example is the successful "Tafeln im Weinviertel" series, which alone attracts more than 2000 visitors to the region just outside the capital every year. Usually for more than one day, as everyone wants to enjoy wine. The recent Weinviertel wine tour was more for day trippers - around 5900 guests did not miss the chance to take a look behind the scenes of the food producers.

Sunset to suit every taste
However, the peak has by no means been reached in the gently undulating region: those responsible are constantly boosting guest business with new promotions. Motto: Once you've experienced it, you're sure to come back! One example of an ongoing offer - almost a "sure-fire success": originally introduced as a test campaign, "sunset tastings" are taking place regularly this year. Selected winegrowers take their guests to their favorite places. They know exactly where the secret spots in their region are.

Sometimes on the way there, but certainly at the destination, wine is tasted at sunset and the surroundings, be it a special place or a spot with a beautiful view, are enjoyed. Of course, a culinary surprise is a must.

The picturesque cellar lanes are the unmistakable trademarks of my home Weinviertel and unique in the world. We still have a lot to do with these cultural assets and want to preserve them on the one hand, but also gradually make them accessible and accessible to experience on the other.

Cellar alleys as a trademark of the region
Once production sites, now places to meet and celebrate: the cellar lanes are always popular - whether at festivals or as part of tours with specially trained guides who not only tell you about the unique buildings themselves, but also have stories to tell about wine. A tasty experience and cultural-historical knowledge transfer in one!

Experience wineries in the Weinviertel
Last but not least, there is also a look behind the scenes and offers for groups: "wein.gut.schauen" is new, where tradition meets production - guests experience the production of wine through to tasting. Additional offers such as tractor rides through the vineyards are a very special experience, especially for families.
