Burgenland, one of Austria’s best wine regions, is famous for its excellent wines that are being produced every year. Attend a wine tasting there if you want to learn more about the fascinating world of wine. The winegrower will provide an insight into his trade and will explain the most crucial points of wine production. Many winemakers also offer tours through their business or allow you to watch them picking the grapes at close range. After the wine tastings you can buy the wines for vineyard prices – an ideal gift for your friends at home.
For wine lovers, the so-called Weinwerk-Burgenland is an absolute must see. The Vinothek (retail wine cellar) haus im puls creates a professional opportunity for the local winemakers to present and sell their high-quality products. In a stylish ambience you can try wines of internationally acclaimed vineyards or exciting new winemakers with outstanding potential.
Very typical for Austria are the so-called Heurigen. These are authentic wine taverns with daytime opening hours, run by local winemakers. You will be spoilt with a great variety of regional delights and specialities, a perfect blend of exquisite wines, or home-made fruit juice for the younger guests. Spend mild summer evenings in nice company in these romantic wine taverns and hidden courtyards.
