Treat recommendation from Die Rupps: genuine vintner's punch for the festive season

A cosy visit to the market calls for a hot drink of first-class artisan quality. True to the philosophy of cellar master Gerald Rupp – "Only good wine makes good mulled wine!" – family business Die Rupps from Höflein (Lower Austria) relies exclusively on the finest base wines and natural spice extracts rather than artificial flavourings.

For lovers of dark berries, the ruby-red Organic Berry Punch is the first choice: elderberry, blackcurrant and blackberry in certified organic quality provide an intense fruity aroma.

Note: All dates and opening hours are based on the official preliminary announcements for the 2026 season. Please check www.schuetzen-am-gebirge.at before your visit.
