The Resort in Andau is the hospitality centrepiece of the Scheiblhofer estate — a wine operation that has spent decades turning an unfashionable corner of Austria into one of its most talked-about wine destinations. The architecture is bold, the service precise, and the setting — flat Pannonian plain, vineyards to every horizon — is unlike anything else in the country.

“Direct access to the Scheiblhofer wine estate — tastings, cellar tours and vertical dinners are part of the stay, not add-ons.”
Spa & Sport
Wellness & Activities
A well-appointed spa with indoor pool, sauna landscape and treatment rooms. After a day cycling the flat roads around the Neusiedler See, it makes sense.
Your time here
What your days could look like
Breakfast with estate wines open on the table for those who want them. A morning cycling route through the Seewinkel to the lake shore. Back for a cellar tour and tasting in the afternoon. Dinner in the restaurant as the sun sets over the plains — which takes a long time here, and is worth watching.
People
The Hosts
The Scheiblhofer family built The Resort because they wanted guests to understand what makes their wine — the landscape, the climate, the specific character of this flat, windswept corner of Austria. The resort is, in this sense, an extension of the winery.
Location
The Area
Andau, Burgenland · 1h from Vienna
Andau sits in the Seewinkel, the flat mosaic of salt lakes and reed beds east of the Neusiedler See. The area is most famous as the site of the 1956 Hungarian refugee crossings — a fact the local museum documents carefully. Today it is cycling country, bird-watching country, and the heart of Burgenland's wine production.
The Destination
Burgenland
Austria's wine country, where the steppe meets the vineyard.
Burgenland is the easternmost and least-known of Austria's nine states — which is precisely why it is interesting.
