Private Vienna Wine Tour: Austrian Wines & SchnitzelA 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.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a small private group—up to 12 people—and a local guide who knows Vienna's wine scene and can point you toward places worth returning to. The fixed four-hour route and included meals mean the day is built for you; you show up and taste, without arranging stops or timing yourself.
Vienna Woods Wine Tour from Vienna: Forest Hike & TastingsA private guided tour from Vienna into the Vienna Woods and Thermal Region combines forest and vineyard hiking (summer) or wine history visits (winter) with two tastings led by local winemakers in the wine village of Gumpoldskirchen. The tour departs from Wien Mitte railway station, includes train transport, lunch at a traditional Austrian wine tavern, and runs 8 hours round-trip with an English-speaking guide. Summer brings a 9km hike through Baden's parks and forested trails to an elevated viewpoint overlooking the Vienna basin; winter focuses on Austria's oldest wine-making institutions and intimate conversations with vintners about climate, organic methods and the future of the region.Is it for me?Choose the summer tour if you want the elevated views and the physical engagement of hiking through Baden's trails and vineyards; choose winter if you prefer to stay mostly indoors while learning about Austrian wine history and meeting vintners in an intimate setting. The summer hike covers 9km with regular breaks and suits most fitness levels, but requires comfortable footwear and is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Winter involves less walking—just a gentle 20-minute vineyard stroll—and works better if you want to focus on conversation and wine knowledge rather than landscape.
Wachau Valley Wine Tour: Private Tastings & Gourmet LunchThis private wine tour from Vienna takes you to 3–4 family-run vineyards in the Wachau Valley, Austria's premier wine region, where a local sommelier guides you through tastings of at least 8–10 wines. You'll walk through medieval villages like Dürnstein, meet winemakers at boutique estates, and sit down to a gourmet lunch of regional specialties paired with wines at a historic riverside winery. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Vienna are included, and the group stays under 10 people per guide.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a small group—under 10 people—and the chance to meet winemakers and owners at family-run estates instead of moving through a crowded tasting room. The private car and sommelier mean the day unfolds at a pace that lets you absorb each vineyard and each wine, and the lunch is built into the itinerary so you're eating in the landscape you've been exploring all morning.
Wine tasting on traditional wooden boats: Wachau ValleyA wine tasting tour on traditional wooden boats through Austria's Wachau Valley, departing from Spitz and drifting downstream past six small villages before returning. You taste wines from regional producers aboard the boat while the guide points out the landscape; the experience lasts about two hours and includes the boat, guide in English or German, and transportation back to the start.Is it for me?Book the smaller group if you want one-on-one guide attention and space to move freely on deck; the larger group works better if you're traveling with friends and want to split costs.
Vienna Danube Valley tour: Melk Abbey, Dürnstein, wine tastingA private minivan tour from Vienna explores the Danube Valley's Wachau region with a guided visit to Melk Abbey's baroque interiors, a walking tour of Dürnstein's old town, a scenic boat ride through terraced vineyards and past medieval villages, and a wine tasting in the region where the wines are made. Hotel pickup is included; the boat runs April through early November. Your guide speaks English, German or Russian.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a private minivan and a guide who sets the pace—you move through the valley without a fixed schedule or a large group, and you can linger at any stop that holds your attention. The boat ride is the defining moment here, so choose it if you're traveling April through early November and want to see the vineyards from the water instead of the road.
Kayaking in Wachau Valley: 33 km with wine tastingKayak 33 kilometers down the Danube through Wachau Valley between Melk and Krems, paddling past castles and terraced vineyards while stopping to taste Austrian wines in villages like Spitz and Durnstein. A native English-speaking kayak guide and wine expert lead the day, which includes double touring kayaks, safety gear, wine tastings of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, and hotel pickup from Vienna or the valley itself. The activity requires prior kayaking experience and strong swimming ability.Is it for me?Book this if you want to paddle actively for a full day rather than join a group tour—your instructor guides you through 33 kilometers while you do the work, with wine tastings and village stops as breaks, not the focus.
Up to 2 hours (1)
Schönbrunn Palace & Wine Tasting Vienna: Skip-the-Line & 5 WinesYou skip the entry line at Schönbrunn Palace and spend an hour touring the Beletage, Franz Joseph's private chambers, and Maria Theresa's rooms with an audio guide. Afterward, you move to the palace restaurant for a guided tasting of five Viennese wines paired with cheese and snacks, learning the story of each wine from an expert. Everything is booked as one package, so you show up, walk in, and don't have to coordinate anything else.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the palace's most important rooms without waiting in line and want to understand Viennese wine culture without arranging two separate bookings—the combination is only available here, and the fixed package means you arrive, walk in, and everything else is already set.
2 to 5 hours (5)
Wine tasting Weinviertel from Vienna: small group tour with lunchA small group wine tour from Vienna into the Weinviertel Wine Region, Austria's largest wine-growing area, where you visit local wineries, taste 8–12 glasses of wine across three locations, and finish with a traditional Austrian lunch or dinner. The tour runs 4 hours in the morning or 5 hours in the afternoon, includes hotel pickup from downtown Vienna, and keeps groups under 18 travelers so the mood stays intimate and the winemakers can actually talk to you.Is it for me?Choose the morning tour if you want to spend the afternoon back in Vienna; pick the afternoon tour if you prefer to start your day in the city and end with dinner in wine country. Either way, the small group and the winemakers who pour their own wines mean you're learning from the people who actually make it, not watching a demonstration.
Vienna Dinner & Cocktails Tour: Local neighborhoods after darkYou meet your Viennese guide at Karlskirche and move through three bars and a dinner stop, tasting local wines, Austrian aperitifs, and cocktails made by people who know their craft. Dinner includes a traditional Viennese dish and a drink; the coffee house stop adds pastry and hot chocolate. The night ends at a rooftop or riverside bar overlooking the city. Groups stay under ten, and the guide chooses bars based on what's actually good right now, not what's famous.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Vienna's actual nightlife without spending the evening figuring out which bars are worth the walk — the guide's knowledge of which places are good right now and which owners to ask for is what makes the whole evening feel like you belong there instead of like you're following a script.
Vienna Food and Wine Tasting Tour: Hidden Gems for Small GroupsA small-group food and wine tour in Vienna that moves between four local establishments over three hours, tasting Wiener Schnitzel with beer, Punschkrapfen, Grüner Veltliner with sausage and goulash, and apple strudel paired with wine in a historic cave setting. The guide speaks English or Spanish, and lunch and dinner are included; non-alcoholic options are available for travelers under 16, and vegetarian dishes can be arranged.Is it for me?The tour is led in English or Spanish, so you follow the guide's commentary and the stories behind each dish without translation delays. If you speak one of those languages and want to understand the food traditions as you taste them, this group works; if you need a different language, you'll want to check availability before booking.
Vienna: Wienerwald Tour, Underground Lake & Wine TastingYou ride through Vienna's outer districts to Liechtenstein Castle, take a boat across an underground lake kept at freezing temperature year-round, then taste three local wines at a working wine bar in the Vienna Woods. The guide is English-speaking, transport and all admissions are included, and the tour wraps by late afternoon.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Vienna's less-known side without renting a car or planning multiple stops — the fixed route and included transport mean you show up and spend the afternoon discovering what's beyond the city center.
Vienna Wine Tasting Tour: Austrian Wines & HamA three-hour wine tasting tour in Vienna where you taste five Austrian wines — Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Blaufränkisch and Burgenland red among them — paired with local ham and traditional spreads across multiple stops in the city's wine cellars. The tour runs Tuesday to Saturday at 5:30 p.m., led by a guide in English or German, and includes all tastings, food and bottled water.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to taste how Austrian wine regions differ — the three-hour format and the guide's knowledge make the differences stick, and the ham and spreads keep the evening grounded instead of abstract.
Half day and longer (2)
Wachau Valley Wine Tour & Danube Cruise from ViennaYou travel from Vienna to the Wachau Valley in a small group with an expert guide who knows the region's history and wine. You explore the medieval town of Dürnstein with free time to wander, taste wine at a local winery, enjoy lunch at a traditional Heurige, and take a 70-minute Danube river cruise (or tour Melk Abbey in winter). Hotel pickup and return are included, as is transport in a comfortable vehicle and all tastings.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the Wachau Valley's wine, villages, and Danube views in one day without renting a car or planning the route yourself — the small-group format and expert guide are what make it possible to move between Dürnstein, a local winery, and the river without losing the rhythm of the place.
Vienna Woods Wine Tour from Vienna: Forest hike and winery visitA guided tour from Vienna into the Vienna Woods and Thermal Region wine country, combining a forest and vineyard hike (summer) or winery visits (winter) with an afternoon tasting led by a local winemaker in the wine village of Gumpoldskirchen. The tour runs 8 hours, includes train transport from Wien Mitte station, lunch at a traditional Austrian wine tavern, and extensive Q&A with the producer. Minimum age is 17; summer hiking requires moderate fitness and sturdy footwear.Is it for me?This tour is shared and led by a guide, so you follow the route and the pace rather than setting your own—what that gives you is the winemaker's attention during the afternoon tasting and the local knowledge woven through the day. Book the summer version if you want the hike and the open-air vineyard break; choose winter if you prefer indoors and a deeper focus on winemaking history and technique.
