Discover Antau: Wine, History and Cycling Route

Antau between Viticulture and History

Antau in Burgenland combines viticulture, traces of cultural history and a documented cycling route to create a destination with many facets. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Antau can therefore tailor their stay to different interests: with a look at protected monuments, a wine tasting or a cycle tour on a designated route. The history of the village stretches from Roman traces to architectural and small monuments that help shape the appearance of the municipality.

Protected Architectural and Small Monuments

One of the prominent cultural points of reference is the Catholic parish church of St. Andrew. It is protected as a monument by ordinance. The Anna Chapel, the Plague/Trinity Column and the White Cross Wayside Shrine are also protected by ordinance. This gives travellers interested in culture a selection of different ecclesiastical and local monuments whose names can easily be incorporated into their own exploration of Antau. Such a tour of the village creates different focal points from a day in the wine-growing region and is therefore also suitable for varied travel planning.

Antau also has an archaeological background. Roman graves have repeatedly been uncovered during construction work. Clues that can still be found today on the eastern edge of the Antau municipal area suggest that a Roman settlement once existed there. These clues make the village's past tangible without requiring the trip to focus on a single historical theme.

Experience Wine and Plan a Group Activity

Migsich Winery is located in Antau in Burgenland, in the heart of the Rosalia wine-growing region. For groups of 8 or more people, the “Classic” wine-tasting package includes an approximately 90-minute cellar tour, a welcome glass of sparkling wine, a guided tasting of 5 selected wines, as well as cheese and bread. Those who want to learn about viticulture not only through tasting but also as an operational process can arrange a 30-minute winery tour for groups of 8 or more by prior appointment. It takes visitors through a demonstration vineyard, the press house, the barrel cellar and the bottling facility.

The desired daily itinerary is therefore particularly important when choosing your accommodation. A holiday apartment in Antau provides the right local connection for travellers who want to combine viticulture and local history. For a group trip, you should take the conditions of the respective tour into account: the “Classic” package and the winery tour each require a minimum of 8 people, and prior registration is also required for the winery tour.
