Barbaramarkt Wiesen 2026: Info | dierupps.at

Advent in Wiesen (Mattersburg, Burgenland) enchants visitors with atmospheric winter traditions. The traditional Barbara Market features the handing out of Barbara twigs, a nativity scene exhibition in the nearby primary school, a visit from St Nicholas for the little ones, a performance by the “Liadnbering Teufeln” Krampus troupe, and an open-air concert by the Wiesen Music Association, accompanied by mulled wine and baked treats. Anyone looking for authentic pre-Christmas joy in the Carnuntum and northern Burgenland regions will find the perfect meeting place at the Barbaramarkt Wiesen. The festive illuminations and the scent of cinnamon, cloves, and freshly baked pastries create the unique charm of this market. Whether handcrafted regional gifts, musical ensembles, or sociable gatherings around the punch huts – the Barbaramarkt Wiesen reflects the warmth and heritage of the region. In traditional wine-growing communities like Wiesen, genuine indulgence comes first. In keeping with master vintner Gerald Rupp’s philosophy – *“Only good wine makes good mulled wine!”* – Die Rupps relies on pure wine and natural spice extracts rather than artificial flavourings. Discover the fruity Kalamansi Punsch and the elegant Organic White Mulled Wine for festive moments at home.

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.

Classic craftsmanship for special moments: the Rupps Feuerzangenbowle combines rich red wine with the characteristic caramel note of melted sugarloaf and fine winter spices.
