Klosterneuburg Monastery Wine Cellar Tour and Wine Tasting

Want to unlock the millennia‑old secrets of Austrian wine? This tour of the Klosterneuburg Monastery wine cellar takes you into the dark depths 36 metres underground, where beneath the Baroque vaulted ceilings, you will encounter the richness and legend of 900 years of winemaking history!

Hidden here are the secrets of Austria's oldest winery — the cellar is deeply embedded underground, relying on a 300‑year‑old natural ventilation system to maintain an ideal wine storage environment at a constant 12‑14°C all year round. No matter how the seasons change above, it remains consistently warm, moist and tranquil. Stroll through the four‑storey Baroque wine cellar; thick brick walls support the intersecting arches, light filters through the crevices, illuminating rows of ageing barrels. The air is filled with the rich aroma of grapes and oak, as if time stands still.

During the journey, you will witness the perfect fusion of ancient winemaking traditions and modern cutting‑edge technology: from 13th‑century handcrafted techniques to today's precise temperature control and quality inspection, every detail tells of the winery's ultimate pursuit of quality. The guide will explain in detail the evolution of wine production over 900 years, from raw material selection to fermentation and ageing, allowing you to understand the craftsmanship and story behind every drop of fine wine.

The most anticipated part is undoubtedly the wine tasting session at the end of the itinerary! Inside the ancient Stiftsvinothek cellar from the 13th century, the mottled marks on the vaulted ceiling hold the imprints of time. Here, you will taste the winery's selection of premium wines. Gently swirl the glass, watch the wine swirl around, and as it touches your lips, the interplay of fruit, tannins and lingering finish captures the essence of a thousand years of winemaking artistry, intoxicating the senses.

There is no noisy crowd here, only the whispered conversation between wine and time. Whether you are a wine lover, a history enthusiast, or a traveller seeking a unique experience, you will find a sense of belonging here. Go deep into the underground realm, feel the warmth of centuries‑old brick walls, listen to the stories of a millennium of wine fragrance, and then personally open a bottle of fine vintage, letting your taste buds collide head‑on with history.
