Wine Tasting

Langenlois is Austria's largest wine town by vineyard area, dominating the Kamptal wine region with exceptional Gruner Veltliner and Riesling production. The town combines traditional wine culture with modern wine tourism, most notably at LOISIUM, a striking contemporary wine experience center designed by architect Steven Holl. Historic wine cellars beneath the town create an underground labyrinth, while above ground, traditional wine taverns and modern tasting rooms coexist. The famous Heiligenstein vineyard produces some of Austria's finest Riesling. Langenlois represents Kamptal wine culture at every level, from ancient cellars to cutting-edge wine architecture, making it essential for serious wine enthusiasts.
