Vienna wine tasting and Old Town tour

• Meet guide at Michaelerplatz 3
• Enjoy wine tasting at two wine bars
• Learn about Viennese viticulture
• Tour Vienna’s Old Town highlights

The experience

Vienna sits inside 700 hectares of vineyards (more wine production than most people realize happens inside a capital city), and this tour takes you to two wine bars where a licensed expert walks you through the tastings. You'll taste crisp white wines the region is known for, along with red and rosé, and learn how each one is made and what the local terroir brings to the glass. The guide speaks your language and builds the tasting around what you want to know, not a fixed script.

The 2-hour option gives you 4 wines across the two bars. If you have a longer afternoon, the 3-hour version adds a fifth wine, traditional Austrian appetizers to go with the tastings, and a guided walk through Vienna's Old Town. You'll see the Rathaus, the National Theater, and the Hofburg Palace on foot before or after the wine bars, depending on how the guide structures the day. Both options include pickup and drop-off at your accommodation, so you can taste without worrying about getting back.

You'll need to arrive on time at the meeting point (Michaelerplatz 3, in front of the Raiffeisenlandesbank) so the venue reservations stay locked in. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and all surfaces and areas work for strollers if you're traveling with small children. Austria's legal drinking age is 18.
