Neustift is famous for its Kirtag. This custom dates back to the middle of the 18th century, when the winegrowers of Neustift went to Empress Maria Theresa with a harvest crown and asked for tax exemption after poor yields had put them in a difficult economic situation. And the Empress not only waived the payments, but also gave them back the crown on the condition that they organise a fair every year.
To this day, “Weinhiata”, “Altbursch” and “Flaschenbuben” parade through Neustift and Salmannsdorf on Neustift Kirtag (every year in August) and stop off at the wine taverns. Numerous Kirtag stalls and a ceremony provide entertainment for visitors.
We expect over 100,000 guests to attend the 4-day Neustift Kirtag every year. Be one of them and experience our traditional festival for yourself!
