About this class
What you’ll do in the class
1. Meeting Point & Introduction (Start at Schottenring U-Bahn Station)
Your journey begins in the heart of Vienna, at Schottenring U-Bahn station. This central and well-connected location makes it easy to access the tour from anywhere in the city. Your guide will welcome you and provide an introduction to Vienna’s rich wine culture before we set off.
2. Scenic Tram Ride to Vienna’s Wine Region
From Schottenring, we take a short tram ride to the outskirts of the city, where Vienna’s famous vineyards begin. As we leave the bustling center behind, you’ll notice the landscape changing into rolling hills covered with vines.
3. Vineyard Walk: A Journey Through Vienna’s Green Side
Upon arrival, we embark on a gentle stroll through Vienna’s scenic vineyards. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the city’s winemaking history, the unique soil and climate conditions, and the traditional techniques still used today. You’ll learn about the local grape varieties, including the renowned Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC, which is an essential part of Vienna’s wine identity.
4. Exclusive Winery Visit & Cellar Tour
Next, we visit a family-run Viennese winery, where you’ll get behind-the-scenes access to the winemaking process. We’ll explore the winery’s cellars, where the aging process takes place, and hear directly from the vintners about their craft. This is a rare opportunity to see where the magic happens, from fermentation tanks to oak barrels, and understand the delicate balance between tradition and innovation in Viennese winemaking.
5. Guided Wine Tasting: Experience Vienna’s Finest Wines
The highlight of the tour is a professionally guided wine tasting session. You’ll have the chance to sample a curated selection of Viennese wines, each with its own story and character. The tasting includes:
- Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC, a unique field blend that showcases the region’s diversity
- Elegant white wines, such as Grüner Veltliner and Riesling
- Robust and flavorful reds, like Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch
- Sparkling or specialty wines, depending on availability
Your guide will explain the tasting notes, production methods, and ideal food pairings for each wine, ensuring a fully immersive experience.
6. Return to Vienna’s City Center
With new knowledge and appreciation for Viennese wine, we conclude the tour with a short tram ride back to the city center. You’ll return around 7:00–7:30 PM, perfectly timed to continue your evening in Vienna, perhaps at a traditional Heuriger (wine tavern) to enjoy even more of the local specialties.
