Austria 2023 by ombiasy WineTours took place from Sunday, May 28 - Thursday, June 08, 2023. We toured Austria for 12 days, starting and ending in Vienna: Wien, Wagram, Carnuntum, Burgenland, Steiermark, Wachau, Kamptal, Kremstal, Traisental, Wien.
The day began with breakfast in Graz, Steiermark, and ended with a wine pairing dinner at Heurigenhof Bründlmayer, Langenlois, the iconic producer of Riesling in the Kamptal.
In between, we stopped in Eisenstadt, where we visited the Joseph Haydn House, had lunch at Restaurant Henrici and visited the Esterházy Palace. In the afternoon, we had a two-hour drive to Austria’s Grüner Veltliner and Riesling country.
Tour of the Haydn House
Joseph Haydn, Eisenstadt, and the Esterházy family are inseparable. As it was customary throughout the 17 th , 18 th , and even 19 th century, aspiring composers and musicians could only make a living by finding a wealthy sponsor/employer. Joseph Haydn worked for more than forty years as a court musician for the Princes of Esterházy starting in 1761.
Haydn bought this baroque house and lived there with his wife Aloisia Keller until 1778 when the Esterházys built a grand new palace in rural Hungary called Esterháza (we stopped there for lunch a couple of days ago) where they needed his services. Haydn was a friend and mentor of Mozart, a tutor of Beethoven and at his time one of the most celebrated composers in Europe.
Lunch at Restaurant Henrici in the Esterházy Palace
Guided Tour of Schloss Esterházy
This castle was built in the 13 th century and is one of the most beautiful baroque palaces in Austria.
Owned by the Esterházy family since the middle of the 17 th century, it has been the cultural and social center of the region ever since. The large concert hall -the Haydn Hall- is named after Joseph Haydn. It is the heart of the palace and the concert venue in Europe with the best acoustics. Austria's largest wine museum is also located in the Esterházy Palace, in the 330 year-old cellar vaults.
