Weinbau Renate und Leopold Herzog

Weingut Herzog is a family-run winery with a Heuriger in Berndorf-Ödlitz that cultivates around 4 hectares of vineyards in the Thermenregion. It is open (in season) several times a year according to its own Heuriger calendar; wine and spirits are also available to take away and for delivery.

From a kitchen-parlour Heuriger to a proper Heuriger

• 1945: Great-grandmother Rosina opens for the first time, back then as a simple Heuriger in her own parlour and kitchen.
• 1960: Walpurga and Leopold Herzog senior extend the house; since then there has been a permanent taproom.
• 1986: The present Heuriger premises are built where the cattle shed used to stand.
• Since 2000: Renate and Leopold Herzog junior have run the business in the third generation, alongside the vineyards with around 40 hectares of arable land.

At the Heuriger

• Space: around 130 guests, in the parlour with its large tiled stove and in the garden under vine arbours.
• From their own farm: The pigs are slaughtered and processed on the farm; anything bought in comes from businesses in the surrounding area.

Vineyard and cellar

• Sites: the Weichselberger, Harberla and Satz vineyards.
• Cellar: newly built in 1997; the old barrel cellar is now a store and sales room.
• Winemaking: white wines ferment under cooling, red wines spend four to five days on the mash in the vat.
