Loisium

A relative newcomer to wine tourism, Austria is looking for boldface names to add allure to the country's famously bucolic landscape. New York architect Steven Holl designed the Loisium Wine Resort as a temple to all things vine-related. The brushed-aluminum structure houses an Aveda wine spa, hotel, and production facilities in a town, Langenlois, whose soil is honeycombed with wine caves.
