Overview

Weinbau und Buschenschank Distl is a family-run winery and traditional Austrian Buschenschank (a seasonal wine tavern) based in Vienna, Austria. It operates as a Meisterbetrieb — a recognised master craft business — combining vineyard cultivation, wine production and on-site hospitality. The estate is located at Ketzergasse 457-459 in the 23rd district of Vienna (A-1230), and its operations span grape growing, winemaking, bottled wine sales and a seasonal tavern serving its own wines and homemade food. The business is led by Martin Distl, who states that he is fortunate to run the family operation in its fourth generation. Its stated philosophy is captured in three words: BODENSTÄNDIGKEIT (down-to-earth rootedness), QUALITÄT (quality) and FREUDE (joy). The winery's range covers white wines, rosé and red wines, grape juice (Traubensaft), and self-made products (Selbstgemachtes), and it also offers label design (Etikettengestaltung) services. Its wines are described as numerous and award-winning (ausgezeichnete Weine), reflecting participation in wine competitions and quality recognition. The Buschenschank side of the business is seasonal, with published opening periods such as 5 September to 18 October, and from 31 October to 22 November 2026 open only on Saturdays from 15:00 and Sundays from 14:00. The estate also hosts social events (Geselliges), including gatherings announced for September 2026. The website provides information on the vineyards (Weinrieden, Weingarten), the wine cellar (Weinkeller), the path from grape to wine (Von der Traube zum Wein), and directions (Anfahrt), alongside a downloadable brochure and details on purchasing options. As a small, family-owned Viennese wine estate, Distl represents the urban winemaking tradition of Vienna, where vineyards such as those on the city's outskirts support both wine production and the Buschenschank culture of serving one's own wine and food directly to visitors. The brand is private, family-owned and not listed on any stock exchange.
