In 1784, Austrian Emperor Joseph II issued a decree that permitted all residents to open their establishments to sell and serve self-produced wine and juices. Ever since then, the Heuriger has been an annual tradition.

Your passport will be your guide throughout the Heuriger where you will explore five different food and wine stations each representing regional Austrian dishes created by Chef Erwin Schrottner including:
About Chef Erwin Schröttner
Erwin Schröttner is the owner of the Lower East Side eatery Café Katja in New York City. Growing up on a farm just outside of Graz, Styria, he developed an early interest in fresh and homemade food. At the age of 15, he started apprenticing in various restaurants and hotel kitchens, actively pursuing a culinary career. After a few stints in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, Erwin made his way to New York in 1998. There, he met his friend and business partner Andrew Chase. Together they worked on and off at Monkey Bar and the former Mark Hotel, for about eight years before eventually opening Café Katja on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
