About Döbling and the Heurigen: the back story

Döbling, the 19th district, climbs from the city to the Vienna Woods. Its old wine villages, Grinzing, Heiligenstadt, Nussdorf and Neustift am Walde, are full of Heurigen, and the vineyards rise to the Kahlenberg.

The Heurigen

Mayer am Pfarrplatz, Fuhrgassl-Huber and Weingut Cobenzl.

The hills

The Kahlenberg and the vineyards above Nussdorf.

Walk up, then eat at a Heuriger on the way down.

Eating

Amador (Three MICHELIN Stars) on the Grinzinger Strasse.

Our advice: a Heuriger shows a pine branch over the door when it is open.
