The wine taverns of the Kellergasse

It is certainly one of the prettiest lanes of wine cellars on Lake Neusiedl. At the foot of the Leitha Mountains, 50 cellars belonging to the winegrowers of Purbach serve as stores, restaurants and wine taverns. Make the opening of the Kellergasse wine taverns a fixed date in your diary on the 1st Saturday of every month between May and October. Enjoy a party atmosphere, music, food and drink. The winegrowers invite you to join them from 4 pm for the best food and drink that Purbach has to offer.

The guided World Heritage wine tour

You will visit two or three leading growers in the expert company of wine guide and winegrower Reinhold Schwarz from Kloster am Spitz in Purbach. Gain in-depth insight into the practical aspects of wine-making. Sample 6 – 8 wines from the current range and discuss their characteristics.

Historical and cultural monuments can also be visited on request.
Wine trips lasting 1 – 7 days available.

Purbach wine cellar visit

What does a functional wine cellar look like? You will visit two very different examples: one from the Middle Ages and a state-of-the-art equivalent. Wines can be sampled in each cellar. A tour of the historic town centre is also included. The cellar visit ends with a hearty snack in the prettiest lane of wine cellars in Austria.
