Privacy policyAustria has a serious wine culture of its own, from the vineyards of Lower Austria and Burgenland to Vienna’s Heurigen and the wine roads of Styria. Champagne is part of that wider drinking culture too, with bottles and by-the-glass options turning up in restaurants, wine bars and hotels across the country.
If you’re looking for Champagne in Austria, Vienna is a natural place to start, but the map takes you well beyond the capital. You’ll find Champagne alongside Austria’s own wines in restaurants, wine bars, hotels and other places where a bottle of something special makes sense.
Austria is also a country where sparkling wine has its own identity. Sekt Austria, Sekt Austria Reserve and Sekt Austria Große Reserve are protected quality categories for Austrian sparkling wine, so don’t be surprised to see local bubbles sharing the wine list with Champagne.
For a very different wine experience, look out for Austria’s Heuriger and Buschenschank culture. These traditional wine taverns are especially associated with Vienna and the country’s wine-growing regions, and can be a great part of a wine-focused trip – even if Champagne is not necessarily the main attraction.
Austria has 17 wine-growing regions, with Lower Austria, Burgenland, Styria and Vienna making up the main wine-producing areas. That makes wine a useful thread to follow when travelling around the country – and Champagne Hunters can help you find the places where the French original is available along the way.

Add a spotChampagne can be found in restaurants, wine bars, hotels and other wine-focused venues across Austria. Vienna has a particularly strong wine and drinking culture, but our map also covers places beyond the capital.
Austria has a strong sparkling wine culture of its own, with Sekt being much more prominent than Champagne in the local market. That doesn’t mean Champagne is hard to find – it appears on wine lists in restaurants, hotels and specialist wine venues across the country.
Sekt is Austria’s own category of sparkling wine. The country has three protected quality levels – Sekt Austria, Sekt Austria Reserve and Sekt Austria Große Reserve – with increasingly strict requirements for production and origin.
A Heuriger is a traditional Austrian wine tavern, particularly associated with Vienna and the country’s wine-growing regions. In Vienna, the culture is so deeply rooted that Viennese Heurigen has been recognised as intangible UNESCO cultural heritage since 2019.
Vienna is certainly a good place to start. It has a large concentration of restaurants, wine bars and hotels, as well as a wine culture that is unusual for a major European capital – vineyards and wine taverns are part of the city itself. But Champagne Hunters covers venues across Austria, so it’s worth checking the map wherever you’re travelling.
