The time is ripe to discover one of Europe's best kept secrets...

Although its origins can be traced back more than two millennia, the Austrian wine industry really didn’t begin attracting the attention of the rest of the world until ten to fifteen years ago. But thanks to an exciting “crop” of ambitious young winemakers, increases in research, education, and financial commitment on the part of the industry, and the perfect climate in which to put these resources to work, Austria is now turning out a wide range of world-class wines. Critics, connoisseurs, and consumers are taking note and rapidly changing the nation’s reputation from “Europe’s best kept secret” to “the wine world’s next big thing.”
