Overview

Weingut und Heuriger Wolfgang Hofer is a family-run winery and traditional Viennese Heuriger (wine tavern) located at Maurer Lange Gasse 29 in Vienna's 23rd district, Liesing. The estate combines winegrowing with hospitality: guests are welcomed during seasonal "Ausg'steckt" periods to enjoy Heurigen specialties alongside the house's own wines, and wines are also available for direct farm-gate purchase (Ab-Hof-Verkauf) by telephone appointment. The winery's vineyards are situated in the southern Vienna wine-growing area, which the estate credits for the character of its red wines. Its red portfolio focuses on Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon, and St. Laurent. White wines are organized into three lines — "Frisch und Fruchtig" (fresh and fruity), "Charakterweine" (character wines), and "Lagenweine" (single-site wines) — offering a range of styles. The estate also produces frizzante wines, including a Lilly Rosecco and a Riesling Secco, suited to the convivial Heuriger setting. The brand has earned recognition in Austrian wine competitions. In 2025 it was named a Wiener Landessieger with eight gold medals, including awards for a Grauburgunder Reserve 2024, a Privat Grande Reserve 2022, and a Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC Ried Kadolzberg. Additional gold medals came from the NÖ-Thermenregion 2025 for a Riesling Eiswein 2022 and from the AWC Vienna Spring Tasting 2025. As a Heuriger, the business operates on a seasonal calendar, publishing specific opening periods each year (for example, in 2026: 3–15 March, 12–24 May, 7–19 July, 28 August–6 September, 6–18 October, and 7–22 November for goose season). It also runs a pop-up format called "im Hof." The estate is small and family-led, with Wolfgang Hofer as its namesake and public face. It remains a private, independent Austrian business.
