Wine wandering in Stammersdorf

Weintage 2017

When: SAT–SUN, August 26–27
Where: Stammersdorfer Straße

When a street fills with people filling up on wine and local artisan foods, you’ll find us in amongst the crowd, and we recommend you get on it too. The Heurige hotspot and the fringe suburb of Vienna, Stammersdorf, will be throwing their wine festival at the end of this month. Set in the middle of fields of vineyards, Stammersdorf is the shy, laidback alternative to Grinzing. Escaping out to this spot north of the Danube requires a tram trip to the strange setting and a short walk through a few back streets. Soon enough you’ll see a sign directing you to the street where you’ll find houses lining the cobblestone street that look like they’ve shrunk in the rain.

In between these houses are Heuriger, and what are known as Buschenschank (the same thing as a Heuriger, minus the warm meals). Start your way from the top, taste yourself through the endless varieties of wines and snacks and finally stumble back into the city in the overpacked trams… that’s life, winelovers! Prost!
