Hohenwarth-Mühlbach
a.M..

A Weinviertel wine village beside the March River

Wine Tasting

Hohenwarth-Mühlbach a.M. sits in the Weinviertel, Lower Austria's largest wine region, near the March River. Vineyards cover the surrounding hills, planted mostly with Grüner Veltliner, the grape behind the Weinviertel DAC designation and its dry, peppery character. Kellergassen — lanes lined with earth-covered wine cellars — run through the village and its neighbours, many still used by families who press and store their own harvest each year.

The village keeps its traditional Lower Austrian character, with farmhouses and courtyards shaped by generations of wine and grain farming. Paths follow the March River and climb through the vineyards, opening onto views across the surrounding hills toward Poysdorf. Cellars open their doors for tastings through the year, and the harvest season brings festivals centred on new wine and seasonal food.

Small eateries serve dishes rooted in the Weinviertel pantry — dumplings and cured meats alongside wine from across the road. The rhythm of the place follows the vineyard calendar, from spring pruning through to the autumn harvest.
