Choose a region to read its guide, then move closer through its named subregions.
- 01Burgenland14 producersBurgenland is Austria's red-wine stronghold, with Blaufränkisch, St. Laurent and Zweigelt at its core. Mittelburgenland and Eisenberg focus on Blaufränkisch, Neusiedlersee joins Zweigelt with sweet wine, and Leithaberg makes mineral reds and whites.
- 02CarinthiaNo producers listed yetCarinthia's vineyards lie in southern Austria on alpine slopes, with most plantings in the south and southeast. White grapes dominate, led by Sauvignon Blanc. The region's modern revival began in 1972, and named Rieden now give growers a more specific vineyard reference.
- 03Lower Austria65 producersLower Austria is Austria's largest wine-growing area, stretching from the Danube near Vienna toward the Pannonian Plain. Its 11 sub-regions include Wachau, Weinviertel, Kremstal, Kamptal and Traisental, with white-dominant Danube wines and warmer styles toward the southeast.

- 05Styria9 producersStyria, or Steiermark, lies between the Alps and the Adriatic, where steep vineyards and a rainy, sheltered climate create many local conditions. Sauvignon Blanc leads in Südsteiermark, Traminer has a strong presence in Süd-Oststeiermark, and Weststeiermark is known for high-acid pink Schilcher.
- 06TyrolNo producers listed yetNorth Tyrol's protected, sunny vineyard sites and sharp day-night temperature changes shape wines that can be ripe yet fresh. Burgundian whites and reds remain central, while PIWI varieties are gaining ground. The Tirol designation covers the whole Austrian province.
- 07Upper AustriaNo producers listed yetUpper Austria belongs to Austria's Bergland wine region. Its province-wide protected origin, Oberösterreich, appears on labels, and most wine under the name is Qualitätswein. The two terms identify origin and category, while the 2025 vintage was described as fruit-forward and fresh.
- 08VorarlbergNo producers listed yetVorarlberg covers an entire Austrian province between Lake Constance and the Alps. Its small vineyard sites are widely scattered, and cool conditions bring pronounced acidity. The range of locations means there is no single wine style for the designation.
