Grinzing
A wine village in the vineyards on Vienna's northern outskirts. Traditional Heuriger taverns serve the current year's young white wine with a buffet of cold dishes, and folk music is often played.
Grinzing lies in Vienna's 19th district, where the city's vineyards are most concentrated. Vienna is the only capital in the world with large-scale wine production within its city limits. Traditional Heurigen, marked by a pine branch, serve only wine made on the premises that year. Guests help themselves to a buffet of roast pork, cheese, bread and salads. The courtyards are relaxed, and some evenings feature Viennese folk music known as Schrammelmusik. A glass of new wine costs about 4 euros. Take tram line 38 from the city centre for about 30 minutes. It can be combined with a hike on Kahlenberg.
