Already generations of visitors to combine the wine town of Retz, the free wine fountain, where once a year at the Harvest Festival Sunday in the wine flows from the fountain in the main square!

But the Grape Harvest Festival has much more to offer:

Is the unique atmosphere at the wine tavern and large tusks on the main market square, where seeing and being seen next to the tasting of regional specialties, and the top wines of the ubiquitous Storm of the favorite pastimes of the wine-and Waldviertel seems to count. A comprehensive music program for a good time with young and old - usually until the wee hours of the morning! Protection against cold or rain offers the hospitality and wine taverns and the old amusement park on the Jahnhalle "old sports field," the delicacy taverns in the historic town hall.

A special children on Saturday afternoon offers family-friendly program.

On Sunday, a program highlight is chasing the next: After a festive open-air mass, and the performances of the brunch mood groups of thousands of visitors eagerly await the arrival of the city of Retz Chapel with the guests of honor and the subsequent opening of the free wine fountain. The famous winemakers parade with more than 50 groups and weighing is this year under the motto: "In the wine world, where joy is growing," and thrilled the audience crowded. As of now, the mood at the top - during the next few hours, the wine flows like water! The giant fireworks display that you should have seen our guests passed the evening until next year.

Verderberhaus

"Verderberhaus" is most wonderful and magnificant building on the town square of Retz. It goes back to the renaissance era and this style is venician. So in some cases you could feel like on a piazza in Italy ... although it is in Retz.

Baroque houses

You must visit the town centre! The medival town square consits of many great old buildings, most of them are in baroque style.

Further visit the caves under the square, they are one of Austria´s biggest! I have to check it when I am there next time!
