Winery of the Prince of Liechtenstein
Vaduz
The Winery of the Prince of Liechtenstein, known as Hofkellerei, is a prestigious estate deeply rooted in winemaking since 1436. Owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein and managed under the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation, it represents a rich tradition combined with contemporary expertise. The winery produces a diverse range of fine wines, including Pinot Noir from the "Herawingert" vineyard, Rieslings and cuvées from the "Karlsberg" site, as well as Grüner Veltliner DAC, rosé, Zweigelt, and elegant sparkling wines. The current generation of passionate oenologists, including Natalie Ströhle and Josef Stumvoll, emphasize a philosophy of gentle vine pruning and respect for soil vitality to craft wines with distinctive character, origin, and structure. Visitors can enjoy these wines at the vineyards in Liechtenstein and Austria, as well as at the Torkel restaurant and the Vinothek in the Garden Palace in Vienna. The winery is part of a larger portfolio of companies and cultural institutions managed by the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation, which plays a significant role in preserving the region's heritage and promoting the princely family's cultural legacy.
