Austria 2027
Why Austria? Why now?
This 7-day wine and culture tour focuses on the "Golden Triangle" of Austrian viticulture: the UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley, the red-wine haven of Burgenland, and the vibrant capital, Vienna.
May is an ideal time for this trip, as the vineyards are lush, the "Heuriger" (wine taverns) open their outdoor terraces.
Austrian wines have been gaining critical recognition lately yet remain under the radar of many consumers.
Vienna, as you’ve never seen it
We will have local guides for cultural visits in Vienna.But did you know that Vienna has the most acres under vine of any European capital? We will explore the wine growing tradition and delicious wines from here.
