Proximity to Heuriger taverns and vineyards per 250 m cell, from OpenStreetMap · as of: August 2026
Vienna is the only city of over a million people with serious wine-growing, and it happens in just a few edge districts. We measured, for every inhabited spot in and around Vienna, how close the Heuriger taverns and vineyards are (from OpenStreetMap, per 250-metre cell). The most wine-steeped place in our data is Döbling (1190), where 60% of residential spots sit within walking distance of taverns and vines.
It is not the vineyard on the empty hillside that counts, but what you can reach on foot from your home: from Grinzing and Nussdorf through Stammersdorf to Perchtoldsdorf.
Deep burgundy means Heuriger taverns and vineyards close by. Every square is an inhabited 250 m cell with its wine-and-tavern proximity score (taverns count 60%, vineyards 40%).
Only inhabited cells are coloured. We measure proximity per home, never the share of vineyard land: the empty slopes on the Kahlenberg or the Perchtoldsdorf heath are never counted as a place to live. Tap the map for the score at that exact spot.
Ranked by the share of residential spots within walking distance of taverns and vines, Vienna districts and towns around the city together. Linked: the full profile in the atlas.
Method: proximity of inhabited 250 m cells to Heuriger taverns (60%) and vineyards (40%) from OpenStreetMap, clipped to the real boundary. Only landuse=vineyard counts (never farmland), so Donaustadt and the Marchfeld stay at zero. The share is how much of a place is wine country; large districts like Döbling dilute over their wine-free centre, which is why the iconic wine villages are listed separately below. Prices: asking prices per m² (condos), immopreise.at / derStandard-Preisspiegel, as of Dezember 2025.
A whole district averages out over its wine-free centre. The wine happens in its villages: from the famous ones in Döbling to the quieter Heurigen on the edge of the Vienna Woods (Dornbach, Wilhelminenberg) and on the Bisamberg (Stammersdorf). This is where the Heuriger culture actually lives.
Wine usually means the edge of the woods. These spots combine it with a decent way into town: a lot of wine AND around 30 minutes from Stephansplatz by transit.
Heuriger taverns and Buschenschank are tagged inconsistently in OpenStreetMap; some are missing or filed as an ordinary restaurant. We show what can be documented, plus the vineyards: individual taverns may be missing, which can nudge the ranking.
Many Heuriger open only seasonally (ausg’steckt is’). The map shows where they are, not whether they are pouring this week.
The big slopes on the Kahlenberg, Nussberg or Perchtoldsdorf heath are mostly uninhabited. We rate the proximity of homes to the vines, not living in the middle of a vineyard.
The icons like Grinzing are lovely, well connected by the 38 tram, and touristy and pricey in summer. The ranking shows the wine, the atlas and the price line show the trade-offs.

in the vineyards1190 DöblingModerne Villa im Erstbezug in Grinzinger Bestlage!€ 4,800,000 · 6 rm · 272 m²Only a few edge districts. Döbling (19th) with Grinzing, Nussdorf, Neustift am Walde, Sievering and Salmannsdorf is the wine district. Plus Floridsdorf (21st) with Stammersdorf on the Bisamberg, Liesing (23rd) with Mauer and Favoriten (10th) with Oberlaa. There are small pockets on the edge of the Vienna Woods in Hietzing, Penzing and Währing. The inner districts and Donaustadt have no notable wine-growing (Donaustadt is Marchfeld farmland, not vineyards).
Perchtoldsdorf and Klosterneuburg are the most significant wine towns in our data set. Perchtoldsdorf is a compact wine town on the Thermenlinie with many Heuriger taverns right in the village; Klosterneuburg is historically leading (its abbey runs Austria’s largest winery). Mödling and Maria Enzersdorf only have fringe locations and rank lower on purpose.
We weight Heuriger taverns more heavily than raw vineyard area (60 to 40 percent). For the living experience, the density of taverns within walking distance matters, not the square metres of vineyard on an uninhabited hillside. Grinzing has the densest concentration of Heuriger taverns in Vienna, so Döbling ranks at the top even though Stammersdorf has the larger contiguous vineyard area.
Only where inhabited spots lie nearby. We evaluate residential cells only and measure their proximity to vineyards and taverns, not the share of vineyard land. The empty hillsides on the Kahlenberg or the Perchtoldsdorf heath are never counted as a place to live: they only lift an address that lies within walking distance.
That depends heavily on the exact spot. Grinzing and Sievering are decently connected via tram line 38 and the nearby U4 (Heiligenstadt); the higher vineyard slopes much less so. In the sweet-spot section we show which wine areas are also around 30 minutes from Stephansplatz.
Honestly, not entirely. Heuriger taverns and Buschenschank are tagged inconsistently in OpenStreetMap; some are missing or recorded as an ordinary restaurant. We show the locations that can be documented, plus the vineyards; individual taverns may be missing. On top of that, many Heuriger only open seasonally, which the map does not tell you.
