The Austrian countryside

Waiting for a wedding procession to enter the church. Building in the background is a 'vinothek'.

Rows and rows of grapevines for the production of red red wine - blaufrankische region

Cherries fresh from the tree! Locate one you like, pick it, pop it into your mouth. Only after I'd done that a few times did I get the advice to check for worms first. !!!

Paul's uncle was organising an equestrian festival. Quite a few people turned up.

Isn't this just screaming out "Countryside!!!"?

A few hours later and a few villages away, a wine festival.

VERY popular.

Visited Paul's home village Horitschon in Burgenland, which is rather well known (locally) for its production of red wine. Actually the entire region is known for its Blaufrankische wine. Very lucky to get a private tour of wine production, thanks to Paul's friend who owns it. The wine festival was at Oberpullendorf, district capital.

Photos thanks to Anesia.
