About Us
Everything about Destillerie Farthofer in detail.
About Destillerie Farthofer
We have been distilling with passion for over 150 years. What began in 1867 as a traditional pear-orchard farm in the heart of the Mostviertel is today one of Austria's most innovative Bio distilleries. Family-run, uncompromisingly organic, and guided by one clear principle: from field to bottle.
Josef Farthofer has shaped the family business as its fifth generation into what it is today – an award-winning company that unites tradition and innovation. This is not simply schnapps being distilled. This is where Bio spirits are crafted with character, provenance, and a story to tell.

The Team
Behind every bottle stand people with skill and passion. From the orchard to the malting house to the fine-tuning at the still – our team brings together artisan expertise and a genuine pioneering spirit.
Values & Sustainability
For us, Bio is not a marketing buzzword – it's a conviction. From our own farming and circular economy practices to generating energy from elephant grass, sustainability runs through every single step of our process.
We are award-winning
Our Awards
Our work is recognised internationally: from the world's best vodka (IWSC 2012) to the Sustainability Award (2016) and the Falstaff prize for our rum. These accolades confirm what we live by every single day.
