Why a Heuriger only opens at certain times of the year, and how our calendar shows you which wine taverns are open today.
When people around Baden say “ausg’steckt is’”, they mean that a Heuriger is open. The phrase comes from the Buschen: a bunch of twigs hung out at the entrance, the traditional sign that wine is being served.
A Heuriger, also called a Buschenschank, is a wine tavern that mainly serves its own wine, with a simple cold or warm meal on the side – the Jause. While the Buschen hangs outside, the tavern is open. Once it has been taken in, the tavern is closed again.
Unlike a restaurant, a Heuriger does not open all year round. It opens during fixed periods, the Aussteckzeiten. Many taverns have several of them spread over the year, each lasting a few days or a few weeks. Outside these periods the tavern is closed, but its listing on our site stays online.
For every tavern, badenliefert.at shows the current status. It is worked out on our server from the opening periods we have checked:
