Apricot Farmers' Advent Hut 2026: Info | dierupps.at

Advent in Kittsee (Neusiedl am See, Burgenland) enchants visitors with atmospheric winter traditions. Kittsee is Austria's apricot capital. At the apricot growers' stall, you'll find the distinctive hot apricot punch, hot mulled apricot cider, apricot liqueur and apricot jams for Christmas baking. If you are looking for authentic pre-Christmas joy in the Carnuntum and Northern Burgenland region, the Marillenbauern Adventhütte is the perfect meeting place. The festive lighting and the aroma of cinnamon, cloves and freshly baked pastries make up the charm of this market. Whether handcrafted regional goods, musical ensembles or convivial gatherings at the punch huts – the Marillenbauern Adventhütte reflects the warmth and tradition of the region. The magic of the pre-Christmas season in Kittsee can also be wonderfully enjoyed in your own home. The winery Die Rupps has been supplying Eastern Austria's most traditional Christmas markets for decades. Try our new Calamansi Punch (mandarin x kumquat) or the classic Organic Red Mulled Wine 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.

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 official advance announcements for the 2026 season. Please check www.kittseer-marille.at before your visit.
