Austria’s Single Vineyard Summit 2026

Austria’s Single Vineyard Summit is one of Europe’s most focused and quality driven wine events, bringing together the country’s leading producers to present wines from their most distinguished vineyard sites. Hosted by the Österreichische Traditionsweingüter (OETW), the Summit offers a rare opportunity to explore Austria’s terroir at its most detailed level.

Set against the backdrop of Grafenegg Castle near Vienna, the event gathers winemakers who personally present their wines, creating a direct connection between producer and visitor. Across four days, more than 500 single vineyard wines are poured, many of them shown ahead of official release.

While traditionally reserved for industry professionals, the 2026 edition introduces a limited number of tickets for private wine enthusiasts, opening the doors to a wider audience for the first time. In 2026, for the first time, there will be a strictly limited number of tickets for Wednesday 9 September, priced at €400, will be sold via the ÖTW ticket shop.

A key highlight this year is the full commitment to sustainability, with all wines presented certified as organic, biodynamic or Sustainable Austria. In addition, the renowned region of Burgenland makes its official debut at the Summit, showcasing wines from leading estates such as Weingut Kollwentz, Weingut Gesellmann and Weingut Heinrich.
