HI - Can anyone recommend a huerigen in Vienna that is not terribly touristy and yet easy enough to get to via bus/rail/tram? Prefereably one that Viennese would go to.

Take the streetcar " D" to the end station in Nussdorf. walk up hill about 100 metres on the left side of the street are 3 local heurigen. Look in each one - pick the one you like best.
Very few tourists. Nice gardens too , if weather permits.

" D" runs from Sudbahnhof to the " Ring"-
around the " Ring" to the Stock Exchange- onward to Nussdorf. so very easy to get it.
No change needed- trip takes about 25- 35 minutes from Opera area.

If it's not too late, you can try:

As I recall (from 2 yrs ago), the tram ride is really easy. When you get off, there are heurigens to the left, to the right. Touristy? I thought none of them were.

What is a "huerigen" please?

Tried freetranslation.com, but no dice. I'd love to know.

In my experience, "heurigen" is a wine restaurant, usually with an outdoors garden with tables under the trees. Lots of them up in the hills around Vienna. Very pleasant places to spend an evening.

<i>Heurigen</i> operate under very specific rules, which include, I believe, no direct food preparation and the wines must be from the local area. Some are even limited to the new wines and can't be open all year-round.
