AN INDULGENCE FOR THE PALATE… WELCOME TO THE ARTNER FAMILY WINE ESTATE The Carnuntum region, 20-minutes east of Vienna, enjoys a great reputation for its viticulture. Right there, in the village of Höflein to be precise, nestles the idyllic Artner family winery, which is run by Hannes Artner and his son Peter, who recently took over the reins of the cellar and the vineyard from his father. The origin story goes back to 1985 when the first self-produced Superblaufränkisch wine was awarded fourth place by prestigious Falstaff. From then on, the Artner range has steadily grown into an impressive selection of award-winning wines. From the Grüner Veltliner and Zweigelt to the Syrah – a rather uncommon variety in the region – the Artner cellar shows remarkable diversity. However, there is more to discover at Artner winery. The historic Heuriger wine tavern in the old farmhouse is a wonderful destination 28 |

in and of itself. An audience vote facilitated by Falstaff just awarded it an incredible 97 points and named it Austria’s number one in the Heurigen Guide. Enjoy the wonderful, candle-lit atmosphere during a relaxed supper. On the menu are, for example, Mangalitza pork delicacies, cheese from the Vorarlberg region and, of course, premium wines straight from the cellar. If you are in Vienna, a visit to Restaurant Artner is a must. It’s located at the picturesque Franziskanerplatz plaza and has its own vault housing a wine cellar. Managing director Markus Artner runs it with great passion and is supported by his sister Beatrix. “Our cuisine is dedicated to mastering traditional Austrian dishes – with an innovative twist,” Artner explains. “We serve steaks made from locally sourced calves and love to pair them with the perfect wines from our winery. Seasonal highlights include anything
from asparagus to porcini mushrooms, and even the traditional St Martin’s Day goose.” Contemporary hospitality, regional origin and quality are the pillars of the restaurant’s success. Unsurprisingly, the Artner is a popular venue for events of any kind. Aside from the culinary delights on offer, it has this unique atmosphere, much like the wine tavern in the old farmhouse.
