One third of the Austrian wines are pressed in the biggest Austrian wine-growing area of around 16.000 hectare.
The typical wine of the Weinviertel region, the peppery, dry, aromatic Grüne Veltliner, proudly has "Weinviertel DAC" written on its etiquette.
The DAC stands for "Districtus Austriae Controllatus", which marks wines that can clearly be assigned to a special area.
Even if you aren't a wine connoisseur: during your stay in the Weinviertel you will be reborn as a bon vivant. Try the wines of the Ab-Hof-sailing wine-growers, in the Heurigens, wine inns and vinotheques along the "Weinstraße Weinviertel" ("Wine street of the Weinviertel region").

The cellar lanes of the Weinviertel region aren't only characteristic for the landscape, but also for the relaxing lifestyle of the people living there.
The history of the "Villages without a chimney" began with the liberalisation of the winegrowing in the 18th century by the Empress Maria Theresia and her son Joseph II. Whole streets with press houses and cellar channels were arranged outside the villages - always in harmony with nature. Some of them still serve as place of production, storage room and for the nice tastings of the wines.

Do you want to "refuel your batteries", enjoy the pleasures of life, take a break from everyday life? ... then the Weinviertel region has just the right offers for you.

The wide landscapes and the hills are very popular among bikers!
13 "wine bike routes", which are all named after a typical wine sort, link the charms and attractions of the Weinviertel. These routes - ranging from the "Grüner Veltliner" to the "Zweigelt" - have a length of 35 to 75 km. At special adventure stations you learn more about the wines.
We recommend the 420 km long Kamp-Thaya-March bicycle route and the cross-border 98 km Liechtenstein route from the Weinviertel to the world heritage castles Valtice and Lednice to ambitious bikers. Or the part of the European Eurovelo 9 route, which is 84 km long and leads from the Czech Republic to the Weinviertel.
Altogether, the routes form a bicycle route network with a length of 1,600 km.
