It is undoubtedly the most demanding and exciting tasting that takes place in Austria: From September 9-12, around 500 wines exclusively from ÖTW Erste Lagen and single vineyards will be offered in a tasting, for which trade press, importers, sommeliers and retailers will travel from all over the world.

The grounds of Grafenegg Castle, about 60 km west of Vienna, provide the picturesque setting for this high-quality tasting, which is organized by the Austrian Traditional Wine Estates. Almost 80 winegrowers along the Danube - from the Traisen Valley to Carnuntum - are the initiators of the event, which has been held annually since 2013. More and more wine-growing regions have joined in, so that in this year's event a good 500 wines from the Traditionsweingütern as well as from the guest regions Eisenberg, Leithaberg, Styria and Wachau can be tasted.
