Margarethen
am Moos.
A small wine village in Austria's Carnuntum country
Wine Tasting
Margarethen am Moos lies in the Carnuntum wine region of Lower Austria. Vineyards spread around the village, meeting open fields and low rises typical of the area. The village itself is small and rural, built around farmhouses and wine cellars that still serve the growers working the surrounding slopes.
Many wineries here have tasting rooms set directly on the estate grounds. Quiet lanes connect the cellars, where local vintages are poured alongside simple dishes in Heurige-style taverns. Summer brings vineyard work, and harvest fills the taverns with new wine. Wine festivals through the year reflect how closely the village's rhythm follows its vineyards.
