About Schelhammerhof

Schelhammerhof in Kritzendorf operates as a traditional Heuriger, where Ferdinand Vitovec and Horst Vitovec produce red and white wines. Two wooden-benched rooms anchor the tavern, the second sized for larger groups. The kitchen turns out homemade specialties including roasts and strudel, spreads, salads, cheese, sausage, and dessert. The farm shop opens Monday through Saturday, stocked with seasonal fruit, juices made from apples, grapes, apricots, pears, and quinces, and organic honey from local beekeepers. The Heuriger itself opens daily from 16:00 to 23:00 during operating periods.
