Knowing it is tradition for Viennese to visit Heuriger at least once a year. Any good suggestion on where to go? If I have a Bavarian costumn, shall I bring and wear it in Heuriger? Will I look stupid / wired? Thanks.
I found 4 Heurige Locations on WienTourismus website, are they good? Oberlaa, Hernals Neustift, Heiligenstadt, Sievering, Grinzing, Nussdorf Stammersdorf, Strebersdorf, Jedlersdorf Mauer, Bisamberg

Stammersdorf, Strebersdorf, Jedlersdorf, Mauer and Bisamberg are a bit far out of town, Grinzing has a bit to many tourists. On a nice sunny day try Sirbu Kahlenberger Straße 210 1190 Wien, or Heuriger Hirt Eisernenhandgasse Parz. 165 1190 Wien, both are a bit outside with a fantastic view over Vienna. Dirndl (Bavarian costumn) is fine for a Heuriger.

I think the fact that you are considering wearing what you call Bavarian (German) costume in Vienna (Austria) says a great deal about tourists dressing up in other people's "ethnic" costumes... Personally I think it always looks ridiculous. But go ahead, maybe the locals will enjoy it.

Although there might a tourist there, Grinzing, is my choice... Here is why. There are several places that have live musicians playing folk music that makes you FEEL like you are back in time. When I was there last there were two fellows, one on accordion and the other on a guitar with two necks...unusual , except for that area... and they were GREAT. Beethoven lived there, check this out. http://www.pfarrplatz.at/home-eng.htm So you can not only hear music, have some German cuisine, and stop by where the famous composer lived. After all, in his time, this is where many great composers lived (Vienna), Be sure and go to the cemetery where the whole bunch of them are buried. Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, Beethoven, Strauss....s. ha ha Have fun, Dave

Until about 10, 15 years ago Bavarian (German) costumes (Dirndl and Lederhosen) where only used as work clothings for musicians, waiters etc..., but lately it became popular for women to wear a Dirndl if going to a Heurigen or a Bierfest, Lederhosen are only for men at a beer Festival, both are not Viennese costums and can look a bit ridiculose on some people and quite nice on others... Pfarrplatz and Probusgasse (one of the houses where Beethoven lived is there) have some nice Heurige (not so nice gardens), but are not Grinzing (about 1 km downhill). Many Heurige don´t have music, others have it somtimes (no rules to that, and real Heurige are not constantly open), in Grinzing are some places witch have every evening music, but if the majority of the custumers that day is German or American you might get German or American music...
