Großweikersdorf.
A Weinviertel village where winegrowing sets the rhythm of the year.
Wine Tasting
Großweikersdorf sits in the western Weinviertel, surrounded by vineyards and loess hills that roll into wide open fields. The village is known for winegrowing, especially Grüner Veltliner, with family-run cellars part of daily life. Its small historic core is built around a parish church, with traditional Heurigen taverns tucked along the surrounding lanes. Vines climb the gentle slopes just outside the village, and walking and cycling paths cross between them toward the Wagram edge.
The local calendar follows the growing season closely. Spring brings budding vines and quiet rows between them; by autumn, harvest work fills the cellars and wine festivals open to the surrounding villages. Many Heurigen are simple, seasonal taverns attached to a grower's own cellar, serving the current vintage alongside cold plates of local produce. Beyond the vines, the loess terraces and low hills open onto wide views across the Weinviertel.
