The 5 Best Food & Drink in Andau, Burgenland

“It should be a passion, not a science,” is what Hannes Reeh always likes to say whenever he talks about drinking wine. The vintner combines long-standing family tradition and true Burgenlander authenticity with New World wine expertise. The result of his work: approachable wines that win over amateurs and connoisseurs alike. He does all that in an area unlike any other in Austria: in the midst of the Pannonian heathland or Heideboden, east of Lake Neusiedl. A natural paradise, characterised by vast plains, salt ponds – and covered in lush grapevines. Just a few kilometres away from the Hungarian border lies the village of Andau, one of the sunniest and driest places in the country. And on the edge of this village is the winery of Hannes Reeh. Hannes Reeh cultivates a vineyard of around 120 hectares. His priority is on procedures being as simple as possible throughout the entire process.

The Winery Scheiblhofer is located in Andau which is part of the administrative district Neusiedl am See. With its owned 85 hectares of vineyards Scheiblhofer is one of the biggest wineries in Burgenland. The company is famous for its red wine cuvée “Big John”. The winery was founded by Johann Scheiblhofer in 1983 and taken over by his son Erich in 2000. Besides the production of high-quality wines, the family business focuses on modernity, innovation, sustainability and interpersonal skills.
