Hotel Veltlin: a Wine & Wellness Hideaway

This sleepy corner of Austria features rolling vineyard hills, asparagus plantations, and idyllic little villages as well as an open air museum.

Set in this rustic landscape is a peaceful oasis: the four-star Hotel Veltlin and the Veltlinerland golf course in Poysdorf. While this peaceful region has remained undiscovered by visitors, its primary agricultural product, the crisp, dry white wine called “Weinviertel Grüner Veltliner,” has become the darling of international wine aficionados.

Small family farms have remained isolated from trends and their products have remained pure and unadulterated over the last decade. Still, enjoy the luxuries of a golf and spa resort while exploring the local history, culture and wine and food traditions and visit the rustic wine cellar alleys where farmers offer their peppery Grüner Veltliner by the glass to hikers and cyclists. Now that’s life!
