From Vienna, drive along the Danube westward towards Lower Austria. Just past the city of Krems, you’ll encounter the idyllic, terraced vineyards of the Wachau valley. Walking along a path through these ancient Weingärten may lead you to Langenlois, with the richest, most intensely flavored wines of the region.
The Loisium in Langenlois
Sip a
Smaragd,
Riesling or
Grüner Veltliner, and your palate will be awash in flavors of peach, citrus, honey, allspice and white blossom grown in beautiful Vineyards.
Visit Langenlois in
Lower Austria, the epicenter of modern wine alchemy in the region. This city’s most noticeable wine feature is the unforgettable
Loisium - a latter day temple to wine making. The steel-skinned structure appears to have been designed by space age cubists. Additional stops at tasting rooms around Langenlois reveal not only
traditional white wines, but also surprisingly good sparkling wine, and zesty reds.
