Domäne Wachau is the Wachau Valley's most storied producer, a cooperative of over 200 growers unified under one label that has shaped the identity of Austrian white wine for generations. Based in the medieval village of Dürnstein — where Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned — the estate produces wines at all three Wachau quality levels: the light Steinfeder, the medium-bodied Federspiel, and the full, age-worthy Smaragd, named after the emerald lizard that sunbathes in the valley's steep terraced vineyards. Among the finest Grüner Veltliner and Riesling in the world, and an unmissable stop on any Austrian wine journey.
Guided tastings of 5–7 wines across all quality levels including premium Smaragd Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Wine picnics, boat tastings, and vineyard hikes also available seasonally.
Cellar tours, vineyard hikes, wine boat rides, and wine stand-up paddleboarding available.
