Freigut Thallern Wine Shop

Wines from the Thermenregion and the upscale wine scene

The experience of visiting the vinotheque at Freigut Thallern begins as soon as you arrive. Barely a kilometer from the Bundesstraße 50 near Guntramsdorf, you pass through a viaduct and enter another world. Even visitors who have been here many times are amazed by this unique site.

The vinotheque is located in the center of the second oldest winery in Austria. The estate was handed over to the Cistercian order in the 12th century. Wine has been produced here without interruption since October 18, 1141.

The buildings on the estate tell of times long past. Under the initiative of the Polz family, a large part of the historic architectural ensemble was revitalized and renovated with a lot of heart and sweat. The vinotheque was built directly into the old wine warehouse with modern elements. Adjacent to it is the Prälatenstöckel, the former residence of the Meier. Today, this area is used for wine presentations and tastings, but also for seminars.

The winery and vinotheque are run by Margareta and Erich Polz. The Polz family has leased the entire winery from Heiligenkreuz Abbey with the aim of creating a special wine, culinary and living experience here. The vinotheque has been in operation since 2011. The proximity to Baden, Mödling and Vienna makes the winery and especially the vinotheque an attractive destination for many people.
