Author's tip
Rohrendorfer Kellergasse stretches over 1,650 m and is thus the longest Kellergasse in Austria. Here visitors will find 72 press houses and cellar tubes, some cellars dating back to the 14th/15th century and dug by monasteries, convents or manor houses into the soft loess soil or painstakingly into the solid conglomerate rock. With some luck, you can enjoy the best wines and Heurigen delicacies with an open cellar door on a vineyard terrace with a view of Göttweig.
