The visitors’ tour starts in the vineyards. There, in the shadow of an original „Hiata-Huette“ (watchman’s hut), the visitor enjoys a delicious sip of Gruener Veltliner of the vineyard Sandgrube. In between the vines one catches a glimpse of the baroque monastery Goettweig while the guide informs the guests of the importance of winegrowing in Krems for more than 2000 years.
Station 02 Wine.Region
In the room of wine regions an air photograph of Krems and its environs invites to a walking-tour through the vineyards in a few steps. The winegrowers’ gala forms the heart of the room because the winegrowers are the heart of WINZER KREMS. They foster and cultivate the vines for WINZER KREMS all year long and harvest in autumn exclusively by hand – only the experienced winegrower’s hands know when a grape is mature to be harvested.

Here the treasures of Winzer Krems are stored – noble vintages back to the year 1948. In the bottle cellar the “cellar spirits” of Winzer Krems care for quietness. They pay attention to constant coolness and humidity so that the drinker will be able to enjoy the precious wines even after decades of storage.
Station 04 Wine.Cellar
The new oak cask cellar conveys sacral impression. A wine altar forms the centre of the cellar. There, the next glass of wine with a fine fruity Blauer Zweigelt is waiting for the visitor. Karl Korab, a painter of the local region Weinviertel, designed the western wall of the cellar with an 8x2 m oil painting called “winegrowers’ vintage idyll”. Three large windows admit a glance at the impressive fermentation and storage cellar of Winzer Krems.
Station 05 Wine.Film
The film “The aroma of wine” provides an insight into the work of the winegrowers and into the cycle of nature over the year. Sharpen your senses, the film offers more than images and sounds...

A play with senses, at once fascinating and simple – this reflects the installation “Hands on Tables” of the Brazil artist Gorgia Creimer. A walk through a fantastic world that leads you to pause, reflect and wonder, to stop for a moment of contemplation. Here, for a short time, the visitor is quite alone with himself and the world of wine.
Station 07 Wine.Tasting
The tour is almost accomplished – the visitor enjoys the next glass of wine. The Riesling “Von den Terrassen” rounds off the journey to discover the fascination of wine. On the wall called “Loess wall with wine angel” created by the local artist Fritz Gall the wines of the portfolio of WINZER KREMS seem to hover weightlessly.
Station 08 Wine.Shop
In the well-stocked wine shop WINZER KREMS offers wines and various wine-related goodies such as fine chocolate of Wachau, apricot liqueurs and others.
