Discover more about Cellars of the Prince of Liechtenstein

The Cellars of the Prince of Liechtenstein, also known as the Hofkellerei, offer a unique glimpse into the world of royal winemaking in the heart of Vaduz. This estate, owned by Prince Hans Adam II, has a rich history dating back to the 14th century when the Princely House of Liechtenstein began producing wine in Austria. In 1712, the family acquired the county of Vaduz, including the Herawingert vineyards, which are now central to their wine production. The Herawingert vineyard, covering four hectares, is considered one of the best in the Rhine Valley, thanks to its ideal south-western exposure and the warm Föhn winds. These conditions are perfect for growing Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) and Chardonnay grapes, which are used to produce the winery's rare and refined wines. Visitors can stroll through the vineyards, sample the grapes, and enjoy the picturesque views of the Alpspitz and Helwangspitz peaks. The Hofkellerei offers guided tours of the cellars and vineyards, providing insights into the history of viticulture and the winemaking process. Wine tastings are also available, featuring a selection of the estate's finest wines, including the renowned Pinot Noir. The on-site sommelier can guide you through the tasting notes, enhancing your appreciation of these royal wines. The winery also has a partner restaurant set in a medieval building with one of Europe's largest grape presses. Here, you can indulge in an exquisite dinner paired with the estate's wines.
