Step away from the rush of everyday life and into the peaceful rhythm of Austria’s wine country. Just an hour outside Vienna, nestled in the rolling hills of Hohenwarth, lies a family-run vineyard where wine is more than a product — it’s a way of life. Here, in this quiet corner of Lower Austria, time slows down, and visitors are invited to connect not only with the land, but with the people and stories behind every bottle.

Each weekend, Stefan Obritzhauser — a seasoned oenologist with experience across five continents — returns home to guide guests through his family’s vines. His hands-on tours offer something rare: the chance to meet the winemaker in person, walk the very soil his ancestors farmed, and taste wines crafted in small batches with care, patience, and deep-rooted knowledge.

As you walk between rows of sun-drenched vines or sip wine in the tasting area beside the cellar, you’re not just observing — you’re taking part in a living tradition. Stefan’s warm storytelling, combined with his global perspective and family heritage, brings each glass to life.

Whether you’re a passionate wine enthusiast or simply looking for a meaningful weekend escape, these relaxed, small-group experiences offer an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at authentic Austrian winemaking. It’s personal, it’s local, and it’s unforgettable — all in a setting that feels like home.
