Weingut Zickl in Gaweinstal, in Austria's Weinviertel, hosts wedding receptions and private celebrations for up to about 60 guests indoors, with a vine arbor and a large garden for outdoor ceremonies and drinks receptions. It is a family wine estate and Buschenschank (a seasonal wine tavern), and the same rooms are used for private parties outside the regular opening days.
Weddings and receptions
The estate presents itself as a wedding location with a rustic character and flexible layouts. Couples can hold the civil or symbolic ceremony under the green canopy of the Weinlaube, the vine arbor, and then move to the garden for the Agape, the Austrian standing reception with sparkling wine. The wedding table can be set either under the arbor or inside the tavern room.
The estate has made personalized wedding wine a specialty for more than 20 years. Guests choose a wine from the range and the estate designs a label to match the couple's style and colors. According to the official site, the custom wedding wine is included at no extra charge in a wedding at the estate. The same service exists for baptisms, birthdays and company gifts.
Rooms and capacities
There are two indoor rooms and an outdoor area. The main room, the Hauptlokal, seats about 40 to 50 guests and has a central tiled stove that keeps it warm in the cold season. Tables and chairs are loose, so tables can be combined for almost any group size. A single long banquet table fits up to 40 people, and table groups fit up to 50.
The Stüberl is the second indoor room. It seats 25 people in standard seating and was recently renovated. It suits small and mid-sized parties and can be reserved for up to 20 guests, with a few more possible in tighter seating.
The estate states its maximum capacities as standard seating, for example 60 seats in the main room and 25 in the Stüberl. A set banquet table or a custom layout reduces them, for example to up to 45 seats in the main room and up to 20 in the Stüberl. The team plans the layout with each couple.
The garden and arbor give a weather alternative. If rain disrupts the outdoor plan, the reception can move into the indoor rooms, and the large garden offers extra space when the weather allows.
Catering
The estate runs a Buschenschank and offers Agape and catering for weddings. The official site lists Hochzeit and Catering as a service area, and food is prepared in the Heuriger tradition of the Weinviertel. Wines come from the estate's own vineyards, which the family has worked since 1716. Ask the team about menus and beverage packages for your date.
