Straß
im Straßertale.
A Kamptal wine village of terraced vineyards and old cellars.
Wine Tasting
Straß im Straßertale lies among the vineyards of the Kamptal, one of Lower Austria's wine regions. Terraced slopes climb the hills around the village, and small, family-run wine cellars open for tastings of the current vintage. The Kamp river runs through the wider valley, shaping the microclimate that lets grapes ripen slowly into autumn. Paths lead out through the vines and along the river, opening onto views across the valley's patchwork of parcels. Harvest season brings wine festivals to the village, with tastings, music, and dishes built around the new wine. The year here follows the vine: buds and blossom in spring, ripening through the summer heat, and the harvest itself when the cellars fill and the valley turns gold with autumn colour.
