The Weinviertel in Lower Austria is famous for its vineyards — but the region's food culture runs far deeper than wine. Kostbares Weinviertel ("Precious Weinviertel") is an initiative by the LEADER region Weinviertel Ost to bring its network of direct producers, winegrowers, farm shops, and culinary artisans together in one digital home. The challenge: a rapidly growing community of providers with no shared platform to guide visitors reliably to the right source.
- TYPO3 platform serving as the central culinary portal for the Weinviertel region
- Business directory listing 481 producers, 6,167 products, and 25 points of sale
- Filter by 12 product categories, season, purchase channel, and quality label
- Interactive map covering the area from the Weinviertel to the Marchfeld plains
- Events calendar and seasonal campaigns including the Genusskalender (culinary calendar)
- Favourites list feature and mobile-first design for on-the-go tourist use
- Structured data markup (LocalBusiness, TouristAttraction) for rich-snippet visibility
- WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance throughout
Today, anyone looking for direct-from-producer food experiences in the Weinviertel finds everything in one place: fresh regional products, directions to the nearest farm shop, and the next market nearby. The platform built with rockit turns regional development into digital findability — making the region's treasures accessible to locals and visitors alike.
