The Affenzeller-Gut at the Peter Affenzeller whisky distillery in Alberndorf in der Riedmark can host seminars, workshops, company parties and themed evenings for 100 to 150 guests, and weddings of up to 90 guests. It sits in open countryside in the Mühlviertel, about 20 minutes from Linz.
Seminars and company events
The venue for business events is the Festsaal, a hall on the first floor above the distillery. The distillery describes it as combining tradition and a modern setting. It is offered for conferences, seminars, workshops, exclusive parties and themed evenings. The Festsaal holds 100 to 150 people. An outdoor area in the courtyard is available for receptions before or after a session.
The site asks organisers to get in touch for an individual offer and recommends a visit before booking. Special requests are handled by e-mail with the team. Technical equipment for presentations is not described on the pages we read, so confirm it when you enquire.
What sets this place apart from a standard conference room is the distillery itself. A tour and tasting can open or close an event day. The tour starts with a film in the distillery's own whisky cinema, follows the production from grain and Mühlviertel spring water to cask storage, and ends with a tasting. The distillery also names its whisky safe, a large storage room, as part of the visit. Group bookings of tours are handled through the experience department.
Weddings and receptions
The hall is offered for exclusive parties and weddings of up to 90 guests. Birthdays, family celebrations and company parties are also listed. The courtyard works as an outdoor space for the reception. The site does not describe ceremony options or a wedding package, so ask what the team can arrange.
Rooms and capacities
Two event spaces are described. The Festsaal takes 100 to 150 people. For weddings the stated limit is 90 guests. The courtyard is an outdoor area for receptions, with no capacity given. The distillery's Café and Genusslounge has limited seating by design and takes table reservations for individual guests, so it is not described as an event space.
Accommodation
The pages we read do not mention bedrooms on site. The distillery's website has a regional section on overnight stays in the Mühlviertel, which you can use for guests who need to stay overnight. Linz is about 20 minutes away.
Catering
Food and drink for events are not described in detail. The distillery runs its own café lounge serving regional platters, pastries, coffee and its own spirits, and it offers tastings. Ask the team how catering for the Festsaal is organised.
History and setting
The distillery produces whisky, rum, gin and vodka. Its single malt is made from its own barley malt and Mühlviertel spring water. Beyond tours, it offers guided distilling days with breakfast, lunch and a personal cask, concerts in the whisky cinema and cigar evenings. These formats can serve as ideas for incentive programs.
Getting there
By car from Linz, take the A7 motorway to the Gallneukirchen exit, then follow the signs marked Whiskydestillerie toward Alberndorf. The address is Whiskyplatz 1, 4211 Alberndorf in der Riedmark. The distillery also mentions access on foot along a whisky hiking trail and by helicopter or limousine on request.
