Winzer Krems rents three kinds of space for private events: a hall for 113 people, a tasting room for 24 and a group of restored wine cellars that takes up to 120 standing guests. The cooperative winery stands at Sandgrube 13 in Krems an der Donau, in Lower Austria, and hires out its rooms for meetings, celebrations and civil weddings.
Seminars and company events
The Festsaal is the room for a plenary session or a company presentation. It covers 201 square meters and holds 113 people. It can be divided into two rooms, so a morning plenary and an afternoon working session can share the same floor. The hall comes with a screen, a video projector, ceiling speakers, a wireless microphone and a gooseneck microphone.
For a board dinner or a small workshop, the Göttweig tasting room takes up to 24 guests. It has a 270-degree view over the vineyards of the Kremser Sandgrube and toward Göttweig Abbey, so the setting does the work and no extra program is needed. The winery also runs a guided visit called SANDGRUBE 13 wein.sinn, which shows the production side of the estate and can be added to a meeting day on request.
Weddings and receptions
The Vinothekkeller Bründlgraben is the venue for celebrations. Seven old wine cellars in a traditional cellar lane were restored in 2014 and are linked inside. The vaulted event cellar lies several meters under the loess of the Kremser Sandgrube and holds up to 120 standing guests. Civil weddings can be held there, and the winery points couples to the registry office of Krems an der Donau for the formalities. For a seated reception of up to 113, the Festsaal is the alternative.
Rooms and capacities
The Festsaal seats 113 and can be split in two. The Göttweig tasting room is limited to 24 guests and suits exclusive events. In the cellar ensemble, the Heinzl cellar offers 44 seats, with room for 10 more in the small Kellerstüberl. The Summerer cellar carries the infrastructure for food and drink. A cellar lift gives step-free access from the cellar to the vineyards, where a viewing terrace overlooks the Sandgrube vineyard site.
The cellars are bookable from Monday to Saturday. Closing time is 11 p.m. and smoking is not allowed in any room. If music is played, the renter registers it with AKM, the Austrian collecting society.
Catering
The winery sells the drinks: only wines and drinks from Winzer Krems may be served, at ex-cellar prices. Food is handled by catering partners from Krems that the winery proposes, so you choose among those partners rather than bringing your own. The Summerer cellar is set up for serving food and drink.
History and setting
For centuries the press houses of the cellar lanes served as homes for wine. Many traditional cellar lanes in Lower Austria are now at risk of decay, because the narrow cellars are hard to work in. Winzer Krems restored seven long-unused cellars in the Bründlgraben lane to keep this heritage alive. Inside, the cellars are connected and each has its own function. Outside, each press house keeps its original look.
The main site on Sandgrube 13 is a working cooperative winery. Between August 2019 and June 2023 it carried out the largest building project in its history, so the facilities are recent. Guests visiting for an event see the winery, the vineyards and the old cellars in one trip.
To book, contact the Weinerlebnis team of SANDGRUBE 13 wein.sinn by phone or email. Prices and conditions are listed in the 2026 location folder that the winery publishes as a PDF.
