Weingut Stadler

Weingut Stadler at Falkenstein 104 in the Weinviertel is a family winery with a Heuriger, guest rooms and a wine shop on the estate. It has been making wine since 1726 and today farms around 35 hectares. It is known for Weinviertel DAC, Riesling and Zweigelt from the sites around the Falkenstein castle ruins.

The family behind the wine

The siblings Christa and Johannes junior took over the business from their parents Maria and Johannes senior. Christa, a trained hotel management assistant, looks after the Heuriger and the rooms; Johannes is the cellar master, graduated from the Klosterneuburg wine school and has worked in New Zealand. Their brother Franz helps in the vineyard, Florian looks after the branding and the online shop.

What goes into the glass

The white wines mostly mature in steel tanks, the red wine in large oak barrels. Strips of greenery are left between the rows of vines, and the winery does without synthetic insecticides. Around 300 photovoltaic panels supply electricity for the cold stores, the press, the rooms and the electric delivery van.

Heuriger and rooms

The Heuriger has existed since 2008, with around 60 seats inside and a terrace in the rose garden with a view of the castle ruins. The menu features Heuriger classics such as caraway roast pork, reinterpreted Weinviertel dishes and vegan alternatives. It is open (in season) on weekends spread over the year, and tables can be booked online. For parties, tastings and seminars the winery opens on request. For overnight stays there are 4 guest rooms and a "Genießerzimmer" (gourmet room).
