Weingut Christoph Grabner

Weingut Christoph Grabner "Zur Schwarzen Säule" at Hauptstraße 43 on the Sooß Heurigenstraße is a family winery with a Buschenschank that opens several times a year and then serves hot Heuriger food every day. Bottled wine is also available outside the Heuriger periods direct from the estate and by parcel.

More than 150 years on the same farm

As early as the time of Emperor Franz Joseph, the wine-growing and cooperage business Spörk existed here, from which the family's grandmother came. From the early 1950s, Franz Grabner senior converted the mixed farm with dairy cows, grain and pigs into a purely wine-growing business. In 1980 Franz junior took over wine production, and in 2007 grandson Christoph joined the management. Since 2010 Ulrike Grabner has run the Heuriger together with Christoph.

Five hectares on the sunny side of the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald)

The vineyards are in and around Sooß on loamy to sandy limestone soils. For some years the business has done without commercial fertilisers, and clover and grasses grow between the rows of vines in line with the rules of controlled integrated production.

What the Buschenschank serves

• Soups: Frittatensuppe and cream soup depending on the season
• Hot dishes: Surschnitzel, Wiener Schnitzel made from pork, fried chicken schnitzel, roasted pork liver and Ćevapčići from the butcher
• From the buffet: salads, spreads, bread and rolls from the baker
• Spirits: Zweigelt brandy from the barrique, red wine liqueur made to grandmother's recipe and the nut schnapps Nußknacker

During the opening periods it is open daily from lunchtime to the evening, with hot food until one hour before closing. Tables can be reserved by phone. Wine can also be sent by parcel service.
