Artisan Craft Advent at Kremayrhaus 2026: Info | dierupps.at

Advent in Freistadt Rust (Freistadt Rust, Burgenland) enchants visitors with atmospheric winter traditions. Heated historic vaults and patrician rooms featuring exquisite handicrafts (glass beads, hand-painted Christmas baubles, stone pine nativity scenes, ceramics). If you are looking for authentic pre-Christmas joy in the Carnuntum and Northern Burgenland region, the Crafts Advent at the Kremayrhaus is the perfect meeting place. Festive illuminations and the scent of cinnamon, cloves and freshly baked pastries create the unmistakable charm of this market. Whether it is handcrafted goods from the region, musical ensembles or sociable get-togethers at the punch stands – the Crafts Advent at the Kremayrhaus reflects the warmth and tradition of the region. The magic of the festive season in Freistadt Rust can also be wonderfully enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. For decades, the winery Die Rupps has been supplying the most traditional Christmas markets across Eastern Austria. Try our new Kalamansi Punsch (mandarin x kumquat) or the classic Bio Glühwein Rot for cosy winter evenings with family and friends.

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.

A Pannonian taste experience in a class of its own: the Uhudler Original Punsch delights with the unmistakable aroma of wild woodland strawberries and ripe raspberries – a truly unique regional speciality.

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