Mayer Adolf und Ilse

Weingut Mayer on Weichselgasse in Baden is a family business with a Heuriger tradition whose beginnings go back to the 17th century. Since 1909 the house has stood in the middle of the former Weichsel gardens, after which the street is named.

A long wine-growing history

• Around 1680 – an ancestor was Weinzierl (vineyard steward) of Heiligenkreuz Abbey at the Heiligenkreuzerhof in Baden
• Until 1908 – the family's Heuriger was open on Neustiftgasse
• 1909 – a new start at the current address on Weichselgasse
• 1962 – extension with Heuriger premises, designed with the architects and painters Anton Wichtl and Heinz Gross
• 1995 and 2004 – renovation of the front taproom and the toilets

Why the street is called Weichselgasse

The name recalls the mahaleb cherry (Steinweichsel, Prunus mahaleb), whose wood used to be made into walking sticks and pipe stems. Fittingly, the St. Laurent grape variety develops an aroma of sour cherries and cherries when suitably ripe.

Wine and small trees

Behind the business is Adolf Mayer, master winegrower and cellar master. The winery also shows bonsais – small trees for the garden and terrace, in which shapes are continued that are often already laid out in nature.
