The roots of the winery date back to the Babenberger in the Austrian history. Around 1300 Albrecht I (1255-1308) enfeoffed twenty of his most loyal followers with farm- and wetlands, fruit- and vineyards in and around “Weinzierl” (nowadays a district of Krems).
The Kuenrings had been their advocates. In 1340 Albrecht II (?-1358) had confirmed these rights. Then the vineyards had already been cultivated and wine had been pressed by the “Twenty enfeoffs” – who were simple landlords.
In 1705 the landlords formed a free community with its own claim to power and jurisdiction. Until this date they had been subjects of the “Grafenegg” manor from which they were able to ransom.

In 1923, thus 600 years later, the manors had been split between the respective landlords. Today only three of the “Twenty enfeoffs” have stayed over – like the Weingut Zöhrer.
During the 1970s the Zöhrer family adopted the resolution to convert the old cellar at “Kremser Sandgrube” to a newly established farmstead outside the village in order to pamper their guests with traditional dishes and the outstanding landscape.
Since 1983 the meanwhile renowned venue has been private residence, wine tavern and winery of the Zöhrer family. And since 1999 guests have felt like at home in our guestrooms.
