    For Generations

    Wine with Passion

    The Pfeffel Winery looks back on a long tradition. In the vineyards around Dürnstein, our vines thrive in the best locations of the Wachau. With respect for nature and artisanal skill, we produce wines that authentically reflect the terroir of the Wachau.

    From Our Apiary

    From Our Apiary

    The apiary of the Gartenhotel Pfeffel stands for honest enjoyment, regional connection and the special diversity of our landscape. Our honey comes from our own beehives, located both in our vineyards in the Wachau and in the forests of the Waldviertel. The blossoming cultural landscape of the region and the pristine power of nature come together to create characterful honeys with their very own expression.
