Flavour without frontiers in Burgenland

Burgenland is different to the rest of Austria: instead of mountains, you will find the Hungarian Puszta plain, Pannonian cuisine, quaint villages, and vineyards, where some of the best grapes grow.

A perfect destination for a stimulating tour of flavoursome indulgence to winemakers, top restaurants and “heurigen” taverns. And should you find yourself in south Burgenland, we would be pleased to welcome you to our vineyard.
