Gols, Austria
Winzerhof Gsellmann brings the Austrian Winzerhof tradition into a practical Gols format: wine, accommodation, courtyard-and-garden calm, and tastings arranged by appointment.

Morbisch, Austria
A small family-run Leithaberg wine estate in Mörbisch, Winzerhof Harald Schindler is strongest as a stayover wine-country address rather than a quick tasting stop.

Inzersdorf, Austria
Winzerhof Haslinger Jürgen brings Traisental wine culture into a relaxed Heuriger format in Inzersdorf, with a modern, light-wood room and garden seating in warmer months.

Höbenbach, Austria
Winzerhof Heinz Fink is a small family wine estate in Höbenbach, rooted in Kremstal’s white-wine tradition and the slopes below the Göttweigerberg.

Rust, Austria
Winzerhof Lehner-Horvath is a small family winery in Rust shaped by the Ruster Hills, a historic cellar-house setting, and appointment-led hospitality.

Vienna, Austria
Winzerhof Leopold gives Vienna’s wine culture a small-producer reading: house wines, regional white varieties, red bottlings, and a heuriger setting shaped by garden hospitality rather than formal tasting-room theatre.
