Our Take
Vienna's 1561 Wine Cellar
Zwölf-Apostel-Keller — meaning 'Twelve Apostles Cellar' — is a heritage Vienna wine cellar dating to 1561. The space is preserved 16th century — vaulted brick ceilings, stone walls, dim oil-lamp lighting — and the bar has been pouring Austrian wine for over four centuries.
The wine list is mostly Austrian — Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Blaufränkisch — with a small German and Italian layer. The food is traditional Austrian — Schnitzel, goulash, dumplings.
The crowd is heritage tourists and Vienna regulars. Pair with Café Jelinek for a complete Vienna heritage afternoon.
What to Order
Grüner Veltliner
From the Austrian section. The Vienna default white.
Blaufränkisch
Austrian red. Spicy and complex.
Schnitzel
Traditional Wiener Schnitzel. Crisp and reliable.
Glass of Wachau
From the Wachau region. Distinctive Austrian style.
