Domäne Wachau

My husband and me had a vineyard tour including wine tasting. It’s such a great experience! The tour guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much about the vineyard history.

100% recommend their 8 wine tasting package (€10)! Tasting of beautifully crafted dry white wine using local grape varieties. Staff was friendly and informative!

Went on a private tour of the winery. Shout out to Martina for being an awesome host! Such an experience walking through the vineyards, the palace, and the cellar. After which comes the usually tastings. Would recommend anyone to go for this tour!

Christopher guided us through a lovely experience of tasting wine and learning about the styles of wine and wineries in the area. There are no views from the winery, no restaurants and no tours of the property. The winery boasts of its highly awarded whites.

On its own, the tour you get through the vineyards and the cellars is very nice and you get a good idea of how this big company / cooperation works. It's a very commercialised tour and tasting session, which is not necessarily bad, but it's something one should be aware of. For beginners, this is a good starting point in Wachauer wine. However, if you are a wine afficionado, I would highly recommend going to one of the smaller, family-run wineries in the area to get a more personalised experience and a more extensive and higher-quality tasting session.

Blonde lady was rude when I asked about how to do the wine tasting. Waited fifteen minutes but ended up leaving as no further explanations forthcoming of wait or process.

We visited the winery in August 2024. Although we booked the day before without availability issues, booking in advance is still recommended I would say. We paid 18 euro for each ticket. Tours happen every Friday and Saturday from 2pm to 3:30pm. The cellar visit and the tasting are only guided and the downside of it is that they are in German. However the guide, was explaining to us few things in English right after she explained in German, which was very handy. On the tasting you get to try four wines plus some bread. They are friendly and the visit to the cellar is really cool. After the tasting there's a shop with very reasonable prices.

Visiting from Napa & Chicago, we were given a fantastic and informative tour of the grounds & cellar by Nina. She was an incredibly lovely host, we so enjoyed our time with her. After our tour, Nina walked us through a beautiful selection of their wines, highlighting the soil structure and locations of the individual vineyards. Heinz, the wine maker, even joined the last half of our tasting. They are truly an impressive and passionate co-op winery, with beautiful & elegant wines.

My friend and I spent a few days driving around Lower Austria and Burgenland at the beginning of this month. One of the reasons we wanted to visit Lower Austria was to taste some wine in the Wachau Valley. The Wachau Valley is 40-kilometer/25-mile UNESCO World Heritage site along the Danube River in Lower Austria, famous for its steep vineyards producing white wines, apricot orchards, castles, and more. There are lots of wineries to choose from when you visit the Wachau Valley, but decided to do a tour and tasting at Domäne Wachau. The winery dates back to the 12th century, but it has been a cooperative since the 1930s. They produce very traditional Austrian wines, and 70% of their production is Grüner Veltliner. Our private tour and tasting lasted a couple of hours, and we learned a lot about the winery's history and their wines. We were walked through the vineyard and the cellar, including their vintage room. We learned a lot about their history and the wines they make from our lovely guide. Our tasting included five wines (I think) and an apricot brandy (they also gave us water and some locally made bread). It was a great tour, and we really enjoyed learning about this special wine region and this great winery.

We visited here on a stop during a Christmas time river cruise. It was an excursion you could take off the boat. We were in Europe with our parents who opted out of this activity because none of them really enjoy wine (weirdos I know). Either way it gave us a great opportunity to have a little date night getaway without the folks. We walked off of the cruise boat and were guided on a fun sunset walk to the winery on a small picturesque dirt road. Upon arriving we were guided down into the super cool old cellars which were deep and COLD. Saw a very old phone on the wall that reminded us of world war II times and a very cool barrel that had a family tree carved into it. We were then taken upstairs to the tasting area which is the opposite of the cellar very light bright and contemporary with light wood and windows. Beautiful spot to meet some of our fellow shipmates and discuss delicious wine from region that was new to me. All of the wines we had were fantastic and there was even bread rolls to eat so we didn't get too loopy to walk back to the ship. I especially remember loving the white wines. If we had more room in our luggage I would have bought tons more to have at home to enjoy. This place is historical, beautiful, and they have perfect wines. Do enjoy!

Great selection of white wines. The Riesling www especially great. Easy to bike and park. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices.

If you are addicted to white wine from Wachau, you need to find a good supplier there :) Domane Wachau could be it. The winery is nice, clean, modern, innovative. They grow the best wine varieties in the best locations of Wachau ... and their prices are not insane. Plus every year, they prepare good wine bundles, which you should definitely try. In October 2013, we have tried their GENERATIONEN-PAKET (6x Erste Steinfeder Terassen 2013, 2x GV Steinfeder 2012, 2x Riesling Federspiel 2012, 2x Riesling Smaragd 2012) for 88.40 Euro and 12x PAKET Erste Steinfeder Terassen 2013 for 68.80 Euro. We have tasted this year's Steinfeder and it will be a fantastic pairing with the Saint Martin Roast Goose. What we buy every year is the Gruner Veltliner Loibenberg (6x for 55.20 Euro). And do you want to surprise your kinds as well? Try the most delicious Apricot Nectar from there (5.90 Euro per one bottle). Your kids and wife will love you!!!

Enjoyed a great wine tasting with our tour group. Beautiful location.
