Overview

Weingut und Buschenschank Kroiss is a small Austrian family wine estate and tavern operation associated with two locations: Vienna (Sievering) and Illmitz in Burgenland. The official website presents the enterprise as a family affair, describing winemaking as something that "runs in the blood" of the family. The two places shape two distinct lines of wine: Julia's work is identified with Vienna, while Andi's work is identified with Illmitz and the Burgenland region, described as strongly influenced by the local landscape and climate. The estate sells wine directly and through curated offer packages, with a range that includes Riesling and Chardonnay among the Vienna assortment and a separate Illmitz selection. A recurring theme in the brand's communication is a shared approach to winemaking and a respectful, uncompromisingly clean attitude toward nature, regardless of whether the grapes come from Vienna or Illmitz. The website states that the pursuit of quality begins in the vineyard. In addition to the winery, the business runs a Buschenschank, a traditional Austrian seasonal wine tavern. According to the official site, the Buschenschank follows a simple rhythm: it is open in odd months and closed in even months. The estate also offers regular Saturday cellar-door wine sales at the winery from 9:00 to 13:00, even when no external signage is displayed. The brand identity combines urban Viennese wine culture with rural Burgenland viticulture, positioning itself as a personal, family-run operation rather than a large commercial producer. Its product communication emphasizes terroir, nature and direct customer contact through tastings, offer packages and on-site purchases.

History

Weingut und Buschenschank Kroiss is documented as a winery and tavern in Vienna, Austria. The official website presents the operation as a family enterprise with two centers of gravity: Vienna and Illmitz in Burgenland. The site describes winemaking as a family matter that "runs in the blood," and frames the two locations as different in character yet united by a shared approach to wine and nature. According to the estate's own account, Julia's work is associated with Vienna, while Andi's work is associated with Illmitz and the surrounding Burgenland landscape and climate. The Vienna side is linked in the site's text to Sievering, a historic wine-growing district of Vienna, and the site refers to a "Wiener Sortiment" (Viennese assortment) that includes Riesling and Chardonnay. The Illmitz side is presented as a separate range shaped by the region. The estate states that its guiding principles are uncompromisingly clean work and respect for nature, and that the pursuit of quality begins in the vineyard. This philosophy is presented as identical in both Vienna and Illmitz, despite the differences between the two places. Beyond wine production, the business operates a Buschenschank, a traditional Austrian seasonal wine tavern. The official site describes a simple schedule: the Buschenschank is open in odd months and closed in even months. The estate also offers regular Saturday cellar-door sales at the winery from 9:00 to 13:00, described as a good way to start the weekend, and notes that these sales take place even when no external sign is displayed. The website also promotes current offer packages and invites customers to explore the range, whether Riesling, Chardonnay or the Illmitz selection. The available evidence does not provide a founding year, founder names beyond the references to Julia and Andi, ownership structure, or production figures. The brand remains active and presents itself as a small, personal, family-run Austrian wine and tavern business.
