Since 1998 the Heuriger has been on the upper floor of the winery building, which consists of two cellars built together. Around 100 guests can sit inside, in winter by the fireplace, and another 80 on the sun terrace. Since 2022 the Heuriger has held the Top-Heuriger award. The ingredients come mainly from regional producers; depending on the season there is game such as wild boar sausages or venison ham. You can visit the old cellar tunnels below. It is open (in season) on individual dates during the year, usually Friday to Sunday.
