Langenlois is the vibrant heart of the Kamptal wine region in Lower Austria, and home to some of the best Austrian Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. This charming town is not only a center of wine production but an elegant wine tourism destination, nestled in a landscape of gently rolling hills covered by terraced vineyards. Our travel designers consider it a boutique retreat for lovers of fine wine and tranquility, with the opportunity to stay in charming hotels overlooking the vineyards and participate in exclusive tastings.

• Loisium Wine & Spa Resort and Vinothek – A modern architectural masterpiece dedicated to wine, offering an experiential journey through the historical cellars (Loisium Kellerwelt). We suggest combining the visit with a relaxing break in their spa.

Gastronomy and Typical Products to Savor

• Grüner Veltliner – Austria's most emblematic white wine, produced here in mineral and spicy versions. A must-try in the typical Heuriger taverns.
• Kamptaler Saibling – Fresh alpine char, often served in light preparations to accompany white wines.
• Heuriger Jause – A typical cold platter of the Heuriger taverns, featuring local cheeses, Speck, cold cuts, and dark bread. The Heuriger experience is an integral part of the local culture.

Events and Oenological Culture

The wine culture in Langenlois is vibrant all year round. The main events revolve around the grape harvest in autumn, but in every season, it is possible to visit the traditional Heuriger (taverns run by winegrowers) to taste the new wine and typical dishes. The experience of walking through the vineyards at sunset, perhaps concluding with dinner in a starred restaurant that enhances the flavors of Kamptal, is unforgettable.
