Where do you live among Heurigen and vineyards?
Vienna is the only city of its size with serious winegrowing inside its own borders. On the edge of town the vine rows reach right up to the residential streets — we show where you live with the Heuriger on your doorstep.

Ranked from open data (City of Vienna OGD, OpenStreetMap, Wiener Linien, Statistics Austria) — not a tourist tip list.
In Grinzing, Neustift, Stammersdorf or Mauer the city does not stop at a line but fades into vineyards. In the evening you don’t go to a bar but to the Heuriger round the corner; in autumn it smells of Sturm and pressed must. It is a Viennese way of living all its own — village-like, a little slower, with the forest right behind.
We count the real Heurigen and Buschenschanken around each Grätzl (OpenStreetMap) and add the wine-and-hills reading from the atmosphere fingerprint. Some carry famous names — Mayer am Pfarrplatz, where Beethoven once lived, the Sirbu on the Kahlenberg with its view over the city, Fuhrgassl-Huber in Neustift — but for living it is the small Buschenschank round the corner that counts. This isn’t about the prettiest day trip, but about a simple question: where does the Heuriger belong to everyday life, not the weekend programme?
The wine districts
The wine villages sit in a handful of edge districts — what matters is the individual Grätzl. This is where you live closest to the wine:
The Grätzl with the most Heurigen
The trade-off is clear: where the vineyards begin, the centre is far and the metro rarely right outside. In return you get quiet, hillsides with a view, and a daily rhythm that sounds more like a village than a big city.
Explore the wine
The “Heurigen” search brings the wine villages and individual Buschenschanken to the front; the Grätzl page tells you how close the vine rows really are and how long it takes into the centre. A good start for anyone after the quieter, greener Vienna.

Which districts in Vienna have Heurigen?
Most of the wine and the most Heurigen are on the city’s edge: in Döbling (Grinzing, Nußdorf, Sievering), in Floridsdorf (Stammersdorf, Strebersdorf), in Liesing (Mauer, Rodaun) and in parts of Währing and Penzing. There the vineyards reach into the residential areas.
Can you live right by the vineyards in Vienna?
Yes. In places like Grinzing, Neustift am Walde, Stammersdorf or Mauer residential streets border directly on vine rows and forest. You live in a village-like calm, but accept longer trips into the centre.
What is the difference between a Heuriger and a bar?
A Heuriger (or Buschenschank) serves its own wine and is often only open seasonally — marked by the pine branch hung out front. In the wine villages it is part of everyday life, not an outing; that shapes the whole rhythm of the area.
