Schlumberger is the oldest sparkling wine cellar in Austria. It was founded in 1842 by Robert Alwin Schlumberger, who had previously risen to cellar master at the Champagne house Ruinart in Reims. To this day it is made using the Méthode Traditionnelle, fermentation in the bottle.
In 1862 Schlumberger leased vineyards on the Goldeck in the Maital in Bad Vöslau from the manorial tithe cellar. In the same year his "Sparkling Vöslauer" made it onto the Queen's wine list at the World Exhibition in London; in Vienna he became purveyor to the imperial and royal court. In 1878 he was ennobled as "Edler von Goldeck" – the title bears the name of the Vöslau vineyard site. The word "Sparkling" is still on the bottles today.
As a red wine pioneer, he also brought Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to Austria for the first time.
You can visit the business at Heiligenstädter Straße 39 in Vienna-Döbling. Tours of 30 to 45 minutes lead through the cellar vaults, which are around 300 years old, each with a tasting:
Public tours take place on Friday and Saturday at 16:00 and 18:00. The Kellerwelten shop has the entire range at cellar-door prices, and with advance orders also with your own label. It is closed on public holidays.
On 17 October 2026 admission is free from 12:00 to 20:00.
The Advent calendar is a wooden fir tree that you put together from five parts and can store away again after Advent. Behind 23 doors there are 0.2-litre bottles, and behind the 24th a full bottle. It costs €179.99 and is available as Mix, Brut or Secco. If you already have one from a previous year, you can get refill packs until 30 November – €119.90 for the 2024/25 calendars, €109 for the older ones with 24 small compartments.
The specialities follow the Austrian quality pyramid for sparkling wine with protected designation of origin: Klassik, Reserve and Große Reserve. The best known is the Sparkling Brut (€15.99). Since 2021 there has also been a certified organic sparkling wine, the Grüner Veltliner Bio Brut, and since 2024 you can design bottles with your own label and your own photo.
