Wine, cocktails & special moments of indulgence
High-quality drinks with character
At Sonngastein, a good dinner does not end with the final course. Often, this is exactly when the part of the evening begins that guests remember most fondly: a carefully selected glass of wine, a hand-mixed cocktail or a special whisky enjoyed in good company.
Our sommelier Emma curates a varied wine selection featuring Austrian classics and international discoveries. Restaurant manager and certified bartender Stefan creates stylish cocktails and mocktails at the piano bar. At our wine and whisky tastings, guests can also enjoy tasteful Sonngastein highlights in the cosy atmosphere of the Kaminstüberl.

Favourite places to linger
A long holiday day at Hotel Sonngastein does not have to end with a delicious evening meal. This is where the evening truly begins. In the piano bar with dance floor, handcrafted drinks meet good conversations, laughter and late-night moments. On the terrace by the bar, you can breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy stunning views across the valley during the day. The stylish lounge offers a calm and cosy atmosphere, while the warm fireplace room invites you to unwind beside a crackling fire and a small library – a place where guests are happy to linger just a little longer.
