Weingut Schwertführer 35 & die Schwertführerinnen

Weingut Schwertführer at Hauptstraße 35 in Sooß is a winery with a Heuriger and wine sales all year round, focusing on Burgundy varieties and the Rotgipfler of the Thermenregion. The Heuriger is open two times a month from Thursday to Sunday throughout the year.

Two wineries, one family

The family has been growing wine since 1898. Today Johann Schwertführer works in the fifth generation and his daughters Kerstin and Sigrid in the sixth. In 2014 the daughters founded their own wine line, the Schwertführerinnen. Together the two wineries farm around 19 hectares, half white and half red. The Schwertführer wines are mostly single-variety and clear; those of the Schwertführerinnen stay on the lees longer and are partly spontaneously fermented. The business is certified under Nachhaltig Austria.

Heuriger with a delicatessen buffet

The buffet has home-made antipasti, beetroot with goat's cheese, spreads, Beinschinken from Thum, prosciutto, cheese and sweet things. Many dishes are free from wheat, gluten or lactose, and vegetarians will find something too. In summer you sit in the courtyard, in winter inside. All wines are available by the glass and to take away at the cellar-door price. Falstaff named the family Heurigen hostesses of the year. Tables can be reserved online; for the same day, it is better to call. You can stay overnight at the family's Weinpension Andrea, Am Schönberg 2.
