Grinzing & Heurigen: Dont miss to visit a „Heurigen”

  • “Heuriger” is a famous instiution in all Austrian wine growing areas. A law - more than a quarter of a millenium old - allows Austrian producers of wine to sell their own wine and other products grown and prepared by themselves at their places subjected only to very low taxes. Because the number of days to do so is in some way limited they mark with a bunch of branches they hang over the entrance that the “Heurige” is open. Therefore it is in Styria also called “Buschenschank” (“Buschen” is a bunch of branches). How to find a good “Heurigen”? Avoid all places to which tourists are transported by bus (mostly in Grinzing). But nice Heurige can be found in many outer districts of Vienna, almost all comfortably reached by public transport (may be quite important for the way back;-)). Authentic inexpensive “off the beaten path” places are at the left side of the Danube in Stammersdorf and Strebersdorf. And a good idea is always to ask your Viennese friends about their favourite places. In good weather you can enjoy the wine and the snacks often in very romantic gardens. The Viennese usually visit frequently the Heurigen, but for rather short stays. The best time for the Heurigen is late afternoon to early evening.

    Heuriger is the name of the youngest wine - from 11.November onwards the wine of the same year. But already in September, soon after the first grapes are harvested, it is possible to enjoy the “Sturm”, the only partially fermented intermediate product on its way to wine still containing quite some grape sugar which is not yet fully transformed to alcohol. It is quite a “dangerous” stuff, it tastes great but you are easily persuaded to drink much more than you should…. The home made food which you mostly choose from a buffet is often very delicious.

  • I was recommended to the Grinzing, which is the most famous and touristy one Heurigen in the city. Truthfully, its just a lot of eating and drinking in a cool setting. So, obviously I loved it! Basically one massive buffett, with roast chicken, barbecue-chicken, Schnitzel, Schweinsbraten (pork), you are encouraged to drink the house wine, which I whole-heartedly recommend. And if you are looking to clog an artery or two, try the desserts.

    All the meats The wine And the chocolate torte/cake/pie thingy

  • Heurigen or wine taverns are places where you can drink and buy wine. You can recognize them by green bunch of grapes sign. They are of different sizes, although most that I have visited were quite large. They are excellent places for larger companies. Almost every house near Stammersdorfer Strasse is Heurigen. It is also interesting to explore small road to the right after the end of Stammersdorfer Strasse. Once a year there are wine days in Stammersdorf and main road is changed in pedestrian zone. There are thousands of people there and a biiig party with all kinds of music, from popular music to jazz. During late summer and autumn check for most (grape juice, no alcohol) or sturm (a little older grape juice that is slowly turning into wine, contains some alcohol).

    Heurigen are not great place for vegetarians, but you can always find something, like apple strudel or cheese with various breads. Meet eaters seem to like cold meats. Anyhow, good places for wine and talk.

    There are many Heurigen around Vienna, and most of them are really good. I am suggesting this one because the Viennese I know have a special liking for it. Tourists like the Heurigen in summer, because there is plenty of space to eat outdoor, but I have been at Fuhrgassl-Huber in November, and it was very pleasant and cosy to dine by a fire-place.

    There is a wide choice of the classic Heurige meat dishes, and also a lots of vegetables.

    You go to the counter to select your meal, either front a case or from a black board menu. The ladies would also show you possible warm food. The picture shows many kinds of dips, cold cuts to accompany the local wine

    The restaurant was located at Grinzinger, a wine growing district on the outskirts of Vienna. It is very easy to reach using public transport, catch the metro train to Heiligenstadt and then catch the bus outside the station to Grinzing #38a. The trip is very easy , but ask the bus driver what time the return trips leave otherwise you may have a half hour wait. Your Weekly Transport Card is valid on both bus and train. The restaurant had a fabulous atmosphere, wandering musicians,singing personally to you, and as the evening proceeded guests started to dance in the hallway. There was a broad selection of meals with many local dishes. The local wines were enjoyable. My wife enjoyed the music so much she purchased their CD.

    I had a most enjoyable local snitchel followed by traditional strudal.

    A meal at any of the many Viennese heuriger is a must; I particularly enjoyed eating there, tasting the local wine and sampling local delicacies. You are seated on wooden chairs and wooden tables served by ladies in typical Viennese dresses. You may see men in lederhosen outfits!!! Heuriger is a tradition that goes back to the Romans period. "Heuriger" means this year's and here it is connected to wine-harvest of the year. heuer = this year, in the Bavarian dialects. Not all heuriger keeps open all the time, some open only for a couple of weeks a year, others fixed their dates say every second month, and others specialize on weekends, e.g. Friday to Sunday.
