Your Wine Experience

Do you know Illmitz and its wines? The lake and the national park? The water buffalo and the white donkeys? The cycling paths, the salt lakes, the inns and traditional wine taverns? Then take a little time – and discover the Illmitz Wine Experience.
Three times a year, the winemakers of Illmitz invite you to join us – in April for the Spring Walk, at the end of June for the Summer Wine Experience, and in early November for the Martini Celebration.
At each event, it’s not just about tasting our wines. We want to share our deep connection to nature and make it something you can truly feel and experience. Guided excursions through the vineyards and the national park offer wine lovers and nature enthusiasts unique insights into our UNESCO World Heritage region.

Swap your binoculars for a wine glass – and immerse yourself in the tasting of our wines. Take your time to discover your personal favourites, from young, vibrant wines to refined, award-winning selections.

We promise you one thing:

It will be an experience.
Your Wine Experience.

We’ve been coming to Illmitz for many years – at first just for the Martini Celebration, but now also for the Spring Walk. In between, we often return for cycling trips.

We’ve rarely experienced a wine festival as extensive and perfectly organised as the Illmitz Martini Celebration. We’ll definitely be back!

My wife and I first discovered Illmitz on a cycling trip. By chance, the Summer Wine Experience was taking place, and we decided to join in spontaneously. We ended up staying overnight just as spontaneously (cycling was no longer an option). Everything was perfect. Since then, we’ve made many friends in Illmitz and return regularly to visit them.

We come to Illmitz every year for the Martini Celebration, and our programme is always the same: a national park excursion, traditional Martin goose dinner, and wine tasting. That’s all we need to be happy!
