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 — and there you live with the Heuriger on your doorstep.
In short: Within Vienna’s city limits, OpenStreetMap lists 162 Heurigen, Buschenschanken and wineries (queried on 14 October 2026). Most are in Döbling (61), Floridsdorf (50) and Liesing (12); the Grätzl with the most is Stammersdorf (28).

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.
The count covers the Heurigen, Buschenschanken and wineries that OpenStreetMap lists within the city limits — per Grätzl within 1.1 km of its centre, for Stammersdorf including the Kellergasse at the edge of the village. 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
Where the vineyards begin, the metro is rarely outside the door; into the centre it is usually a tram or a bus, and that takes a while.
Well-known Heurigen
Beethoven once lived here — today one of the city’s best-known Heurigen.
A vineyard Heuriger with a wide view over Vienna and the Danube.
A large, traditional family Heuriger on the forest edge.
A well-known grower across the Danube, with a second tavern on the Nussberg.
Considered Vienna’s oldest Heuriger, first mentioned in 1740 — a city Heuriger on Ottakringer Straße rather than a wine village on the forest edge.

How many Heurigen are there in Vienna?
Within the city limits, OpenStreetMap lists 162 Heurigen, Buschenschanken and wineries (queried on 14 October 2026). Counted is whatever is entered there as a Heuriger, Buschenschank or winery or calls itself one; streets such as the Weingartenallee, bus stops and duplicate entries do not count, and the Heurigen of Perchtoldsdorf or Klosterneuburg are already in Lower Austria. Whether one has its branch out right now, the number does not say.
Which districts in Vienna have Heurigen?
Most in Döbling (61), Floridsdorf (50) and Liesing (12), followed by Ottakring (8) and Favoriten (6) — counted within the district boundaries (OpenStreetMap, queried on 14 October 2026). In Döbling they are mostly around Grinzing, Salmannsdorf, Nußdorf, Sievering and Heiligenstadt; in Floridsdorf around Stammersdorf; in Liesing around Mauer and Kalksburg.
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.
