Weingut Christ hosts company events, business meetings, weddings and family celebrations for groups of about 30 up to 250 guests. Six indoor rooms take between 30 and 60 people each, and the garden under a large vine arbor takes up to 250, with covered arcades for bad weather. The family estate and its Heuriger, the traditional Viennese wine tavern, stand at Amtsstrasse 10-14 in Jedlersdorf, in the 21st district of Vienna.
Seminars and company events
For business use, the Vorderes Stüberl, a room paneled in oak with direct access to the garden, suits a meeting or a small working lunch for up to 30. The Vinothek, with its curved white bar, works for smaller private or business meetings and tastings. Larger company events, from a team dinner to a summer party for 250, move into the Saal, the Wintergarten or the garden. Wine tastings and a guided tour of the estate can be built into the program.
Weddings and receptions
The estate takes weddings, christenings, birthdays and other family celebrations. Couples can hold a reception and dinner in the garden under the arbor or on the terrace in summer, or in the Wintergarten, which opens onto the garden. The team offers different settings, from formal to traditional Heuriger style, and builds the event to each request.
Rooms and capacities
The Vorderes Stüberl seats up to 30, with oak paneling and its own garden access. The Kaminzimmer, a rustic room with a fireplace, also seats up to 30, and both rooms can be closed off for privacy. The Saal, at the heart of the Heuriger, takes about 60 at booths and solid wooden tables. The Schankraum, the most traditional room, in front of the buffet and the old bar, takes up to 60. The Wintergarten, in light oak with a wooden floor, takes up to 60 and opens onto the garden. The Vinothek has no stated capacity. Outdoors, the garden and arcades take up to 250.
Catering
The estate caters its own events with a buffet, à la carte service or a mix of both, and a sample buffet proposal is available on request. Drinks come from the estate's own organic wines, made from vineyards on the Bisamberg.
History and setting
The estate began as a small mixed farm in the 17th century in Grossjedlersdorf, then an island in the Danube floodplain. Franz Christ Senior put more weight on wine from 1927, and Franz and Johanna Christ, who took over in 1971, gradually moved from crops and livestock to viticulture, turning fully to wine in the 1980s. Rainer Christ took over in 2005 and expanded the estate. A large renovation followed in 2006, and in 2014 the estate added the Petershof, described as the oldest organically farmed land in the city, and converted the whole operation to organic farming. Rainer Christ was named regional champion for the fifth time in 2018.
