Author's tip
The Rohrendorf cellar lane stretches over a length of 1,650 m and is thus the longest cellar lane in Austria. Here visitors will find 72 wine presses and cellar tunnels; some cellars date back to the 14th/15th century and were dug into the soft loess soil or laboriously into the hard conglomerate rock by monasteries, abbeys, or noble houses. With a bit of luck, you can enjoy the best wines and Heuriger delicacies on a vineyard terrace with views of Göttweig at an open cellar door.
