Grinzing (19th district) – Vienna’s wine-growing & Heurige regions

If you’ve been in Vienna for even the tiniest bit of time, chances are you’ve heard of Grinzing and its famous wine taverns.

Grinzing is like the Las Vegas for Heurige, pulling bus loads of tourists that are seeking a genuine taste of these Vienna temples of wine.

If you get restless around tourists, this is probably not the best place to chill out while sipping your wine. However, Grinzing did become famous for a reason, and there are still genuine and charming Heurige to discover in the district. The wines from Grinzing are typically fruity and fragrant, courtesy of the cooler climate and stony soil they’ve got up there.
