New winery project: Happy sleep in the vineyard!

On June 6, 2025, the groundbreaking ceremony for the innovative project "Sleep in the Weingarten" took place in the Thermen region Wienerwald. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner visited the Reinisch winery in Tattendorf, which is run by the Reinisch family in the fifth generation. The event is part of a comprehensive plan to strengthen the regional wine tourism in Lower Austria, the largest wine federal country in Austria. Ten high -quality guest beds are planned, which are to be realized with an investment volume of around 1.1 million euros.

A major goal of the project is to combine enjoyment, relaxation and nature and at the same time promote the quality and hospitality in the region. The implementation is based on cooperation with regional companies, which makes a valuable contribution to the region's economic strength. The offer is expected to be expanded to include the "Thomas im Johanneshof" restaurant, where a conversion of the dining room and an expansion of the kitchen are planned in the next two years.

Lower Austria's wine and cultural landscape

Lower Austria offers a variety of cultural events and traditional wine festivals that closely combine wine and tourism. Over 2,700 wineries in the region invite you to explore the varied landscape of the vineyards and enjoy their products. Whether in top restaurants, authentic taverns or cozy this year - the possibilities are diverse. In addition, modern excursion destinations and cultural -historical features that attract tourists.

The wines of the Johanneshof Reinisch winery are known for their biologically certified top wines that enjoy international recognition. The commitment of the Reinisch family in wine production and the focus on sustainability are exemplary for the high quality that is offered in Lower Austria.

sustainability in Lower Austrian tourism

Lower Austrian tourism has increasingly geared towards sustainability principles. These are comprehensively examined in a current analysis, with the tourist sector playing an important role in the regional economy with over 15,422 employees. The contribution to the regional domestic product is 15.9 percent. Under the aspects of sustainable development, enjoyment festivals such as the "Wein autumn" and the "Pielachtal Dirndlfest" are excellent examples of the connection of culinary and culture.

The analysis recognizes weaknesses in socio-cultural sustainability, especially in the areas of employee satisfaction, payment and working hours. There is a need for a uniform sustainability strategy that bundles targeted support and marketing of sustainable tourism products. Nature conservation and education are supported by the two Lower Austrian national parks that actively work for relaxation and research.

The focus of the Reinisch winery, which is the focus of the “Sleep in the Weingarten” project, plays a central role in this sustainable development. The commitment to the environment and the appreciation of regional products are essential for the success and future of wine tourism in Lower Austria
