an der Zaya.

Wine Tasting

Neusiedl an der Zaya sits in the Weinviertel, one of Lower Austria's wine-growing regions, where low hills carry long rows of vines toward a wide, open horizon. The Zaya river runs through the surrounding farmland and gives the village its name and its calm, rural character.

Grüner Veltliner is a grape closely linked to the Weinviertel, and family-run cellars in and around the village open their doors for tastings of it alongside other local wines. The village keeps a modest scale, with old farmhouses and streets that still follow the farming calendar. Harvest brings a clear shift in daily life, as pressing and fermenting take over the cellars.

Vineyard paths spread out from the village and the surrounding countryside, used for walking and cycling among the rows. Neighbouring wine villages share the same soil and grape varieties, and local markets sell regional produce alongside the wine.
