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

Small, charming streets and idyllic views bring about the atmosphere of this area. Both of these wine villages are at the foot of Nussberg, the mountain where no less than 150 hectares of vineyards are spread out. Its stony soils make it ideal for growing the Riesling & Pinot Blanc varieties.

Oh, and in Heiligenstadt, you can actually visit the Heuriger in which Beethoven lived when he was working on Symphony no. 9. So… there’s that.

Where we recommend you start:

Heuriger Mayer am Pfarrplatz
Where: Pfarrplatz 2
How to get there: tram lines D, 37; U4 + bus line 38A will get you there.
Opening hours: Daily, 4pm–12am (FRI, SAT, SUN and holidays from 12pm)
Good to know… this place inspired Beethoven’s greatest work! Ok, maybe we’re exaggerating, but apparently he drank here when he lived nearby.
Keep in mind…They’ve got live music every Friday! Check their programme.
