About Wachau Riesling Festival

Amid UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley, lively Music & Wine days at Teisenhoferhof bring top Riesling producers and aficionados together under the balmy Austrian summer sun. The Danube Valley’s dramatic day-to-night temperature swings yield mineral-rich wines—making live tastings irresistible in a scenic riverside courtyard.

This festival mixes wine tourism with trade: public attendees sip alongside sommeliers and buyers while visiting booths hosted by leading Wachau estates. Importers gain access to premium Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, join informal tastings with producers, and enjoy networking over food truck delights and live music. In an idyllic cultural landscape dotted with Dürnstein Castle and Melk Abbey, this event blends stunning surroundings with professional sourcing, making it perfect for expanding European wine portfolios with Alpine elegance.

The event is hosted by the Tourism Association of Weißenkirchen in collaboration with the Teisenhoferhof, under the umbrella of regional tourism initiatives like the Wachau Festival network.

Here are some reasons wine importers and distributors should attend the event. The festival celebrates the “King of Whites”—Riesling—presented by Wachau producers renowned for high‑quality expressions. A prime scouting ground for import-ready wines. Held in the picturesque Teisenhoferhof, this setting encourages casual conversation with vintners and fellow trade professionals—ideal for forming business connections. With no entry fee and a weekend schedule, the event draws both trade visitors and affluent consumers. A polished launchpad for relationship-building and sampling. Happening amidst numerous Wachau wine events (e.g., midsummer festivals, cellar openings), it allows importers to extend their visit across the region.
