A bundle of twigs hanging above the door of a tavern is the sign that the tavern is open and sells new wine, called "Heuriger". You can enjoy excellent wines and home-made sausages, delicious cheese etc. Under www.krems.gv.at you find a Heurigen-Calender!!

Weingut Stadt Krems is in a class by itself: the enterprise is owned by a municipality.
With over 550 years of history, Weingut Stadt Krems is one of the oldest wine-producers in Austria, and even in the whole of Europe.

Until 1744, the Town Hall in the historical centre of the city, which is over a thousand years old, accommodated the press house and the maturing cellar. They were then relocated to the cellar in the "Corporis Christi Brotherhood".

In 1915, the city acquired a wine cellar in the town moat. The estate wines of the city have been pressed there ever since. No wines or grapes have ever been bought from outside vineyards.

Weingut Stadt Krems is a member of the association "Traditionsweingüter Österreich" (Traditional Vineyards of Austria), a group devoted to the preservation of venerable and historical vineyards. www.traditionsweingueter.at
All the vineyards of Weingut Stadt Krems (30 hectares) are within the Krems city limits.

Enjoyable Conferences in Krems

Event organizers can choose from a myriad of fascinating venues in Krems, from art spaces to the Minorite Church or the equally worldly Kloster Und, a former monastery. Krems also has splendid staterooms for events and meetings or venues with an air of modern objectivity, such as the lecture hall in the Danube University or the University of Applied Sciences. With all these charms and spaces, the dual-city of Krems-Stein is a perfect spot for staging events of all kinds, from small elite presentations with a good dose of enjoyment to trade shows for which a unique setting is desired.
