Wine Tasting

Traditional wine taverns offer tastings with panoramic vistas stretching across the valley. The Wagram cliff itself is a geological marvel, a 30-kilometer-long loess formation rising above the Danube floodplain. Walking and cycling routes along the cliff edge provide stunning scenery combined with wine culture. Fels am Wagram's combination of dramatic topography, unique terroir, and breathtaking views makes it a highlight of the Wagram wine region.
