When the pear trees bloom in the Mostviertel

Why it is so beautiful when the pear tree blossoms in the Mostviertel

At the pear tree blossom in the Mostviertel at the end of April there is a weekend of enjoyment Mostviertel especially nice. This is best in the period from late April to mid-May. Then the pear trees will bloom there. Their white treetops shine everywhere in the meadows and in front of the woods. We were allowed to experience this ourselves on a short trip to the Mostviertel. We visit Most Barone on the last Sunday in April. This year will be the Day of the must celebrated on April 21, 2024.

 

 

For this festival, the cider barons of Lower Austria their gates. They welcome visitors with regional specialties. Pear must, warm hospitality and great experiences are guaranteed.

 

 

 

 

Experience a weekend of enjoyment during the pear tree blossom in the Mostviertel

Our first visit on our gourmet weekend in the Mostviertel takes us to the pear tree blossoms in the Mostviertel to the Mostbaron von Hauersdorf. He also introduces us to his musts and liqueurs. At a snack He serves us the region's pear cider with meat dumplings, bacon and sausages. He also shows us his wife's products. This takes over the distillation of the fine juices. There is nut liqueur, pear liqueur and apple strudel liqueur. The imagination knows no limits.

We use the warm sunshine and enjoy the afternoon in the wine tavern. This has the family Hauer furnished in their square courtyard. This yard takes my breath away, because it looks more like a castle. He hardly remembers a farm. By hand, the farming family has made their farm a real gem. This is how a gem of regional farm architecture was created. That alone makes a visit to the Hauers worthwhile.

 

 

Guest at the Seppelbauer

On our gourmet weekend we drive on to Seppelbauer. He is also a cider baron. However, he does not run a wine tavern. Instead, he sells his products in his winery. However, on the day of the must, every visitor is welcome. Then it will also be served at his place. And makes good music. He tells us that around a thousand visitors come to the pear tree blossom festival in the Mostviertel. A masterpiece for the host.

 

But we hardly get anything from it. We are too late for that. However, the reason why we visit his farm is different. We want his pear cuvée Mostviertel Three M / 3 get to know. He only brought this onto the market two weeks beforehand. A pear cider that tingles on the palate like sparkling wine. And that tastes just as good. In any case, I can imagine it very well as an aperitif at an elegant dinner. This is how it will be presented to us in the coming days.

 

 

Fancy a visit to the Heuriger

The third cider baron that we visit during the pear tree blossom in the Mostviertel is Leopold Reikersdorfer. He runs his wine tavern in the press house of his farm. It's high up on Moststrasse. From there you have a wonderful view of the orchards. The pear trees grow on them. These can be up to 20 meters high. The farming families harvest their fruits by hand every autumn. You can get up to a ton of pears per tree. These are cider pears. These are not suitable for consumption. However, they are perfect for juice and must production.

 

Most of pear juice is a drink with an alcohol content from 3 to 7%. It is also very refreshing. We hear again and again that the Heuriger farms have hardly problems with alcoholized guests. The reason is the low alcohol content of the drink. In addition, its effect disappears very quickly. Good to know. Even if we are not in the car this weekend. The next visit will come for sure.

 

 

Day of the must

Every year on a Sunday at the end of April, Most Day is celebrated. At the time of the pear tree blossom in the Mostviertel, the Mostbarons open their farms to visitors. It is said that the tables bend. And of course there is fresh pear cider. Most Day is a festival in which the Mostviertel celebrates itself and its ancient pear trees.
