Description
Wine, history of art and culinary delights - this is what the Wachau is known for. The family-run Gartenhotel & Weingut Pfeffel is situated in the heart of the Wachau valley, between the Vogelberg and Schreiberberg vineyards.
Guests can spend some time on the cosy terrace of their room or relax in the lounge with a book. The surroundings are also ideal for cycling along the Danube. You can enjoy a 7-course candlelight dinner with wine tasting in the conservatory - the Kaminstüberl - or have a dish from the à la carte menu combined with a glass of local wine.
During the summer the outdoor pool and the sauna are ideal to relax after a tiring day spent outdoors. This is a great place for those who enjoy wine tasting. We also offer on-site seminars with our sommelier in the wine garden or the wine cellar.
