Winery Georg Edlinger at Dinstlhof - wine & hospitality in Unterloiben
The traditional Winzerhaus Dinstlhof, lovingly managed by Georg Edlinger, is located in the wine village of Unterloiben and is an ideal starting point for discovering the Wachau - directly on the Danube cycle path, nestled in the wine landscape of Dürnstein.
Viticulture with character
On around 4.5 hectares of vineyards in the renowned Loibenberg, Kreutles and Mühlpoint vineyards, white wines full of character are produced that are typical of the Wachau. As a member of Vinea Wachau, Georg Edlinger is committed to the principle of pure manual work and the clear origin of his grapes Georg Edlinger | Dinstlhof Loiben+7vinea-wachau.at+7Outdooractive+7. As a rule, each row of vines is carefully tended and harvested by hand - especially on the steep terraces, where mechanical work is only possible to a limited extent.
Variety & quality
The portfolio primarily includes Grüne Veltliner and Riesling in various DAC categories - from the light Steinfeder to the classic Federspiel and the ultra-fine Smaragd level. The range is complemented by Gelber Muskateller and Sauvignon Blanc, aromatic specialties that offer an elegant alternative to the mineral-structured Veltliners.
Care in the cellar
After gentle hand-picking, the grapes are immediately transferred to temperature-controlled steel tanks. Depending on the variety and style, the wines are matured there for 4-6 months, which gives them the typical Wachau character with a clear fruit structure and mineral freshness.

Georg Edlinger attaches great importance to ensuring that the quality of the grapes is preserved not only in the vineyard but also in the cellar.
Tasting & overnight stay
Visitors can taste the wines directly from the farm and purchase them if they are interested. The Dinstlhof also offers simple but comfortable accommodation with four double rooms and one single room, including a lounge - perfect for wine enthusiasts who want to stay for several days.
