Current dates on the winery's websiteRudi and Evi's extended living room
In 2001 Rudi and Evi Rathbauer started with a small heuriger in Kottingbrunn. It was furnished with great attention to detail and soon became an insider tip.
In 2006 they began building their country house along the Wiener Neustädter Kanal: bright, spacious, Mediterranean, with flea-market furniture and souvenirs from their travels.
In 2018 Falstaff described the country house as a piece of Provence with bright rooms, crystal chandeliers and a mix of Mediterranean, playful and shabby chic.
In their own words the winery is more than a restaurant: a place where you feel like at a friend's home.
Celebrate here
The country house is named as a wedding venue in the press. These are occasions that are conceivable there:
Weddings
Falstaff listed the winery among the top 10 wedding venues on wine estates in 2018, and in good weather the garden suits a ceremony. According to the Eventlocations listing the house is booked exclusively for one party. How your wedding would work in detail is something to clarify with the venue.
Private celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries or other family occasions in a country house with a personal atmosphere. The venue takes enquiries directly.
Other occasions
Company or group parties are also conceivable. Suitability and conditions are agreed individually with the venue.
Good food with imagination
Evi Rathbauer cooks from her own imaginative recipes. In the Falstaff Heurigen Guide 2026 the cuisine scores 36 out of 40 points.
According to Falstaff only the estate's own wine is served, and the wines are organically certified.
The current menu and special dates such as the autumn goose feast are on the winery's website.
