Nikolaihof Biodynamic Cellar Tour ★ 4.8

Mautern

An in-depth cellar and vineyard tour at Austria's oldest winery, tracing 2,000 years of viticulture from Roman origins to Demeter-certified biodynamic farming by the Saahs family. Back-vintage bottles from the Reserves Cellar illustrate the exceptional ageing potential of biodynamic Wachau whites.

Tip: Book directly at wein@nikolaihof.at; pairs with a meal at the Weinstube. The Roman cellar foundations visible in the vaulted cave are a rare archaeological wine-history feature.
