Wine Autumn Lower Austria

The Wine Autumn is not an event in the traditional sense, but rather an invitation to experience the countryside in tune with the rhythm of the harvest. Between wine cellar lanes and vineyards, winemakers open their courtyards, serve new vintages and talk about soils, weather and craftsmanship. Added to this are cultural events and the feeling of being part of a lively moment – not just a spectator.

Each wine-growing region tells its own story:
the Weinviertel with its open wine cellar lanes, the Wachau with wine, culture and the backdrop of the Danube, the Kamp Valley with its clear style and modern wine experiences, or Carnuntum for those who want to combine powerful red wines with architecture and history. The Wine Autumn invites you not to see everything at once, but to consciously immerse yourself in one region. Our carefully curated wine journeys provide inspiration for a multi-day holiday in the eight wine-growing regions. 

Yes – and that is precisely what makes the Wine Autumn so appealing. Many offers combine exercise with enjoyment: for example, wine hiking trails with guided tasting stops, bike tours through vineyards or walks through wine cellar lanes with small culinary stops. The focus is less on the distance and more on being on the move – with time for conversation, views and a glass of wine in between.

The Wine Autumn lasts from September to the end of October, with different highlights depending on the region and grape variety. Early autumn is lively during the harvest, while later in the season it becomes quieter and more reflective as fog settles over the vineyards. Those who enjoy socialising tend to travel earlier, while those seeking depth, conversation and autumnal tranquillity often find it in October.
