Weinbau und Heuriger Wiltschko

Weinbau und Heuriger Wiltschko is a family-run winery and Heuriger (traditional Austrian tavern) located in Mauer, at the edge of the Lainzer Tiergarten in Vienna, Austria. The business combines two closely linked activities: cultivating its own vineyards and operating a Heuriger that serves wine and regional, seasonal food. Its location directly beside its own vineyards gives guests a view over the Leithagebirge and the city of Vienna, and the property features modern Heurigen architecture. The Heuriger side of the business offers a changing menu of Viennese Heurigen specialties made from regional and seasonal produce, ranging from an appetizer buffet to grilled, baked and vegetarian dishes and desserts. The winery side produces its own wines, described as made across generations with growing success. Wines can be purchased on site and through an online shop that is available around the clock for customers who cannot visit Mauer in person. The operation is run by the Wiltschko family. Johannes Wiltschko, born in Mauer, grew up surrounded by the family Heuriger and the nearby Maurer vineyards. After completing a carpentry apprenticeship with distinction, he decided to follow in his parents' footsteps into viticulture, completed the Weinbau- und Kellerfacharbeiterprüfung (viticulture and cellar specialist examination) in Krems, and made wine his main profession. He works alongside his wife Teresa at Wittgensteinstraße 143. The next generation is already involved: their eldest son Laurenz completed viticulture school in 2021 and did an internship at the renowned Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz in Siebeldingen on the German Wine Route, while the younger children Elena and Nikolas help in the cellar and at the tavern. Sustainability and organic viticulture are central to the estate's approach. The family states that it has farmed all its areas in harmony with nature for years and received final organic (BIO) certification in 2026. The business positions itself as a traditional family operation that combines modern Heurigen architecture, contemporary cuisine and self-produced wine in a setting on the edge of the Vienna Woods.

Weinbau und Heuriger Wiltschko is a family business in Mauer, a district on the western edge of Vienna, Austria, situated at the edge of the Lainzer Tiergarten and directly beside its own vineyards. The operation combines a winery (Weinbau) with a Heuriger, the traditional Austrian tavern where winemakers serve their own wine and food. Johannes Wiltschko was born in Mauer and grew up surrounded by the family Heuriger and the nearby Maurer vineyards, developing an early connection to Viennese wine and Heurigen culture. He initially trained as a carpenter, completing his apprenticeship with distinction, but was drawn back to the vineyards and nature. He decided to follow in his parents' footsteps into viticulture. He completed the Weinbau- und Kellerfacharbeiterprüfung (viticulture and cellar specialist examination) in Krems, completing his second educational path and making wine his full-time passion. He now runs the business with his wife Teresa at Wittgensteinstraße 143 in Mauer. The estate describes itself as a traditional family operation that has been making its own wines across generations with rapidly growing success. Johannes works as a self-taught winemaker in the cellar, focusing on developing differentiated wine styles, with organic farming and sustainability always at the center. A particular pleasure for him is being able to walk from the garden straight into the vineyards and experience the sunrise over the city below. The next generation is already active in the business. The eldest son, Laurenz, completed viticulture school in 2021 and completed a successful internship at the renowned Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz in Siebeldingen on the German Wine Route. The younger children, Elena and Nikolas, help their parents in the cellar and at the tavern when extra hands are needed. The family describes the Wiltschko story at the edge of the Vienna Woods as continuing dynamically. On the sustainability side, the family states that it has farmed all of its land in harmony with nature for years and received final organic (BIO) certification in 2026. The Heuriger itself offers a constantly changing menu of Viennese Heurigen specialties from regional and seasonal production, from an appetizer buffet through grilled, baked and vegetarian dishes to desserts, alongside the estate's own wines. For customers unable to visit Mauer, the winery operates an online shop offering Wiltschko wine around the clock.
