Astoundingly, Vienna actually has a flourishing vineyard sector, thanks to its outlying hills and grape-friendly climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nor is Viennese wine a novelty: we have a longstanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/eatingdrinking\/vienna-wine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2414\">vineyard culture<\/a> here that dates back to Roman days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cobenzl Winery represents one of the main players, producing whites and reds from such local varieties as Gr\u00fcner Veltliner or Blauer Zweigelt. It&#8217;s perhaps most famous for its Wiener Gemischter Satz, a blended white wine awarded DAC status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAC stands for Districtus Austriae Controllatus, which indicates a quality wine typical of a region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need specific evidence of Cobenzl&#8217;s credentials&#8230;the winery won the <em>Rote Cuv\u00e9es<\/em> category at the 2022 Wiener Weinpreis awards, the <em>Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC Ortswein<\/em> category at the 2023 event, the <em>Sparkling Wine<\/em> category at the 2024 awards, and the <em>Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC<\/em> category in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twenty-eight Cobenzl wines also qualified for gold listing at the 2025 awards, including a 2024 Gr\u00fcner Veltliner wine, six Riesling wines, seven Wei\u00dfburgunder wines, and no fewer than ten Gemischter Satz DAC wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, yes, a winery of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><em>Ad:<\/em><br><\/div><div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-slug-ids=\"pro977976,pro1037818\" data-partner=\"visitingvienna\" data-tq-campaign=\"DA_wine\"><\/div><script defer src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Cobenzl sometimes opens its doors to everyone at the <em>Tag der offenen Kellert\u00fcr<\/em>, which translates directly as the &#8220;Day of the Open Cellar Door&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the day, you can take a tour of the winery (in German, I think, but still), and taste some of the excellent wines produced from its vineyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t have dates yet for the next open day. Watch this space or the official website (see below). The previous event took place on April 26th, 2024, from 10am to 8pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry is normally free, but if you wish to try the wines you need to buy a tasting armband (priced at \u20ac25 last time out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winery has two immediate neighbours of possible interest to visitors, too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landgutcobenzl.at\/\">Landgut Wien Cobenzl<\/a>: a city farm that delivers exactly what it says on the label: a series of farm stalls and enclosures where kids (and their older companions) can get up close to farm animals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waldgrill-cobenzl.at\/\">Waldgrill Cobenzl<\/a>: a traditional Austrian restaurant I often went to with my kids after visiting the city farm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to Cobenzl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inevitably, the winery is not next to a subway station in the middle of Vienna; it&#8217;s out in the hills that edge the city. But, this being Vienna, it&#8217;s not too hard to reach by car or public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 38A bus stops outside at the Cobenzl car park: Parkplatz Cobenzl. The bus sets off from Heiligenstadt station, which is a stop on the U4 subway line that leaves, for example, from the central Karlsplatz, Stadtpark, Schottenring and Schwedenplatz stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re up there, take the opportunity to look out across the city from the hillside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: Am Cobenzl 96, 1190 Vienna | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weingutcobenzl.at\/\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=13U6rb41uymuVRpYsywyVxUEgCggKTrsf\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only does Vienna have a significant wine-growing industry, the city even has its own state-owned winery.
