Private Vienna Wine Tour: Austrian Wines & Schnitzel

Nine Austrian wines, four hours, one private guide who knows where to taste them

A private wine tour in Vienna pairs nine Austrian wines with Viennese food at four stops: tapas and white wines to start, lunch classics like wiener schnitzel at Judenplatz, the Grüner Veltliner Federspiel at a wine bar Anthony Bourdain visited, and homemade pastries with sweet wine at a coffeehouse that employs seniors. A local English-speaking guide leads the group of up to 12, with hotel pickup included and the route built around Vienna's own vineyards and wine-making traditions.

The experience

Vienna grows its own wine within the city limits, and this tour starts by tasting two white varietals paired with ham, cheese and bread while your guide walks you through how the wines are made locally. The first stop sets the pace: you're learning the story behind what you're drinking, not just moving through a checklist.

From there, a short walk takes you to Judenplatz, the historic center of Jewish life in Vienna, where lunch brings Austrian classics (wiener schnitzel, butter schnitzel, goulash), and more wines. The tour's centerpiece comes next: a famous wine bar that Anthony Bourdain visited, where you taste the Grüner Veltliner Federspiel, Austria's most celebrated white wine, paired with tapas. The day closes at a community coffeehouse run by seniors earning income beyond their pensions, where you finish with homemade pastries and a glass of sweet wine.

The guide is a local who speaks English and knows the bars and eateries worth coming back to. Hotel pickup and a metro ticket are included, so you don't arrange the logistics yourself. Groups stay under 12 people, which keeps the tastings and the conversation manageable. Vegetarian options are available if you request them at least 24 hours ahead.
