The wine hills of Ottakring – Guide to Ottakring

Most people think of Stammersdorf or Grinzing when an afternoon of wine wandering is being planned, however, the wine hills on the fringe of the 16th district also definitely deserve consideration for such fun and games. While the hills leading up to Wilhelminenberg were once blanketed with vineyards, and while not much remains, what’s there is worth sampling. For those that are only familiar with the areas of the 16th closer to the Gürtel, but further up the hill, where remnants of the old town of Ottakring (yes, Ottakring used to be a town before it was swallowed by urban sprawl) can still be seen, a few Heurigen still have their roots firmly planted. Besides 10er Marie which we’ve included in this list, we’d recommend you check out Heuriger Leitner (what a view!) and Weinbau Herrmann.
