The story

VieVinum in Vienna

Austria's largest wine trade fair, staged every two years inside Vienna's Hofburg palace complex, brings together roughly 550 domestic and international producers for tastings, seminars and commented pourings aimed at both trade professionals and the wine-curious public. Each day splits between trade-and-press-only morning sessions and public afternoon access, drawing roughly 15,000 visitors across the weekend to what is the country's single most concentrated opportunity to taste across its wine regions in one place.

Held only once every two years inside the Hofburg, Vienna's former imperial palace, Austria's largest wine fair gathers roughly 550 producers under one roof for three days that range from casual walk-up tastings to structured seminars and commented pourings.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The fair runs only once every two years rather than annually, concentrating Austria's wine industry into a single occasion instead of a routine calendar date

02

The mystery stays covered

It splits each day between trade-and-press-only morning hours and public afternoon access, and stages all tastings inside the Hofburg, Vienna's former imperial palace, giving the event a formal architectural setting unusual for a wine fair of its scale

03

The city starts moving

Organized by the Austrian Wine Marketing Board, it positions Austrian winemaking directly alongside a curated selection of international producers, giving the roughly 550 exhibitors spread through the palace's halls and courtyards a genuinely comparative, cross-border tasting scope
