Graben Gritsch Winery: Heart of Wachau

Graben Gritsch im Donauschlössel is a family-owned vineyard, guesthouse, and restaurant located along the scenic banks of the Danube River in Wachau, Austria. For over 40 years, the Gritsch family has been dedicated to producing traditional wines, blending time-honored techniques with modern practices. Their focus on meticulous care in viticulture ensures that each bottle reflects the unique terroir of the region.

Sample Exceptional Austrian Wines

The vineyards in the Spitzer Graben feature centuries-old stone terraces, with a unique microclimate that includes cool winds and chilly nights. Spanning 7 kilometers from Spitz to Mühldorf, this area is characterized by mica slate and dry-stone walls, with vines rooted in weathered granite. These geological and climatic conditions contribute to the distinctive character of the wines produced here. The main varieties cultivated across 6 hectares include Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Gelber Muskateller, all of which are crafted into dry white wines.

Visit the Heuriger

The newly opened restaurant by the Danube River is an ideal spot to taste the unique wines of Graben Gritsch winery. The Gritsch family also hosts a traditional Heuriger several times a year, offering a chance to enjoy local wines and participate in community events and festivals.

Modern accommodations at the Danube Castle provide a serene retreat, allowing guests to appreciate the tranquility and hospitality of Wachau.

From the terrace you have a wonderful view of the Danube. The food was excellent, the food is cooked with passion! The lady who served us was very warm-hearted and competent. My husband drank his way through the wine list and had a lot of fun doing it ;) Delicious!! We really felt at home and will come back :) THANK YOU!

The waitress made an effort to clear a table for us. We had a vegetarian risotto, which turned out to be delicious, and drank an excellent wine (their own gelber muskateller).

We spent a few days at the Donauschlössel over the summer solstice. We felt very comfortable. Good food, good wine and the location right on the Danube is brilliant. Everyone in the house was very friendly and attentive. We would love to come back.
