About the Vibe
Perched on the sunny south slope of Nussberg, Buschenschank Windischbauer offers one of Vienna’s most scenic wine experiences—literally in the vines. You’ll find yourself surrounded by rows of grapevines with sweeping views over the city, sipping house-made white wines while grazing on a spread that ranges from Breton sardines to Duroc pork roast. It’s rustic yet refined, open only on nice weekends, so plan your visit accordingly—but trust me, the effort is worth it for the views alone.

Wine, Views, and Vines on Nussberg
Buschenschank Windischbauer is exactly the kind of place you stumble upon when you want to escape the city without leaving it. Nestled among the vines on Nussberg, the setting is as much the draw as the food—you’re sitting outdoors under the open sky, surrounded by grapevines, with a view that stretches all the way to the Danube. The menu is a playful mix of Mediterranean and Austrian influences: think hand-caught sardines, smoked fish, Vorarlberg alpine cheese, and Duroc pork roast, all paired with their own crisp white wines. It’s not fancy, but it’s authentic, and the casual, no-frills vibe makes it feel like you’ve been let in on a local secret.
The only catch? They’re only open on nice weekends, so you’ll need to check their schedule before heading up. But if the weather holds, it’s one of Vienna’s most rewarding heuriger experiences. You won’t find a more picturesque spot to sip wine and watch the city glow in the late afternoon sun.
