This excursion was so much fun! Harold, our guide, took us to three wineries outside Vienna. The drive was beautiful, and I learned so much about Austrian wine! We had seven people in a small van — not a big bus full of people. The others on the trip were all there to have a lovely time, which we did. The food was excellent. I highly recommend this excursion.
One of the best wine tours we have been on, Bruno was an excellent guide very informative and attentive, good value for money as we were taken to 3 wineries, lovely hosts at each one, lots of interesting information and really delicious wines and meal at the end of the tour, highly recommend!
We had an excellent experience with Harold as our guide! We visited two delicious wineries and had a traditional lunch at the second location in a small group of 7 people. We also learned a bit about the wine industry and grape growing in Austria. Loved our day!
So much fun! Harold was a great guide. Wine was wonderful. All of it!! Nice small family wineries. Countryside was beautiful. Small group highly recommended for a nice outing.
The wines were great and Martin our guide was knowledgeable The trip to the wine towns was short. Nice tour.
Great experience. Fantastic wine. Beautiful countryside just outside the city.
Collected promptly from hotel. The other guests were interesting and fun. We drove to the first vineyard and along the way Rudi explained many of the buildings we were passing and also some Austrian history which was fascinating. The first tasting was in a beautiful air conditioned tasting room with lovely views. The wines were great and then we moved on to the second vineyard which wasn’t a traditional vineyard. It was in a residential area and it was also a restaurant. Unfortunately there was no air conditioning and in 36 degrees it was very uncomfortable. We had lunch there of pork schnitzel and sweet kraut and dessert. Sadly the high temperature with no air conditioning made it difficult to sit and concentrate of the wines. I did ask what they did when the restaurant was closed and Rudi said there was a large selection of vineyards to switch to. I think next time it’s so hot the company should choose vineyards with air conditioning. I would highly recommend this to others.
We had such a good time on the wine tour and our guide, Martin was certainly a highlight. He was both knowledgeable about the locale as well as friendly and personable with a great sense of humour. The winery's we went to were generous and friendly and we had four glasses each at both locations along with a delicious lunch of sausages and schnitzel and fried chicken. The overall group seemed to get on well which made the day that much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend as it was a great way to see some locations outside of the city. And if you're lucky enough to get Martin as your guide, you're in good hands!
It was a very relaxing enjoyable trip. Learned about the wine culture and tasted a good variety of wines. The lunch was delicious and our guide was fantastic
Countryside Half Day Wine Tour near Vienna. Weinviertel's tranquil surroundings and the local wineries were a delight to visit. There was a good variety for wine tasting and the food was also fairly good. But the whole process seemed a bit rushed. It would be nice to spend some more time in a few wineries. Also, I didn't like all the wines, although that's a matter of personal taste. Overall it was a good trip, but a little less comfortable than I expected.
