Seminars and company events
Weingut Nigl in Senftenberg, Lower Austria, hosts seminars for up to 25 people and private celebrations for up to 120 guests. The estate combines a winery, a restaurant and a 27-room hotel with spa on the Kirchenberg, a few minutes from Krems in the Kremstal, at the gateway to the Wachau. Organizers can run a full working day and an overnight stay on one site.
The seminar room, called Room Kirchenberg, is bright and air-conditioned, with access to a terrace. It can be set in a U-shape, as a classroom, as a block or as an armchair circle, for up to 25 people. The vinotheque, the estate's new tasting room, suits meetings and discussion-based sessions for up to 14 people. The Panorama loft, an air-conditioned premium suite with its own large table, a terrace and a seating area, works for small working sessions of up to 6 people. The rooms carry the usual seminar equipment. The estate suggests a hike to the ruins of Senftenberg castle or a wine tasting as team-building activities. Offers are made on request through the inquiry form.
