Höhere Bundeslehranstalt und Bundesamt für Wein- und Obstbau

The Federal Institute for Viticulture and Pomology combines educational facilities with research laboratories across its extensive campus on Wiener Strasse.

Founded in 1860 as a vineyard school with support from Stift Klosterneuburg, the institution became Austria's primary center for wine and fruit cultivation education.

Students at the institute participate in wine production, testing, and development processes, contributing to Austria's established wine-making traditions.

The institution maintains research facilities, testing laboratories, and educational spaces where 150 staff members instruct classes of 25 to 35 students annually.

Scientists at the institute developed several grape varieties, including Blauburger and Zweigelt, while pioneering methods for sulfur-free wine production.
