Manami Tominaga’s latest wine articles feature two exceptional European wineries, now published in Livets Goda #184/2025, Sweden’s prestigious Wine & Food Magazine available in both print and digital editions. The articles are available in two versions: the original English and Swedish translation.
Livets Goda has earned multiple honors from the Gourmand International Awards, including the prestigious title of “World’s Best Wine Magazine” — a testament to the publication’s excellence in wine and culinary journalism.
One article features Wieninger Winery in Vienna, Austria, a family-run operation led by renowned winemaker Fritz Wieninger. Representing Vienna’s winemaking tradition with acclaim both domestically and internationally, the estate embraces the philosophy of “Small is beautiful,” crafting wines with an emphasis on quality over quantity that have earned exceptionally high praise from wine lovers and experts around the world.
The other showcases Viajur Winery, led by head winemaker Tomáš Dilong, located in the historic town of Svätý Jur about 20 kilometers northeast of Bratislava. The article explores Slovakian winemaking history and reveals why Viajur Winery—and Slovakia itself—are being called a ‘Hidden Gem’ in a country often uncharted on the wine map.
