Top Austria Wine Tasting Tours

My mother and I were visiting Austria from Canada for my birthday. Jenny is without a doubt the best tour guide we have ever had. Jenny is not an average tour guide - she holds a Master’s degree, and her depth of knowledge of Austrian culture, architecture, history, and food and wine truly showed. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and able to answer every question we asked, whether it was about the Wachau Valley, Austrian history, wine, the Habsburgs, or something completely unrelated to the day’s itinerary. Jenny brought along an iPad filled with photos and other visual aids that made everything she explained easier to understand. It was obvious how much preparation and care she puts into every tour. Jenny is an exceptional storyteller. She has a gift for introducing the history behind an object or location before we saw it, so when we encountered it later, it felt like the culmination of the story rather than just another artifact or exhibit. We were on a tight schedule because I needed to return to Vienna in the evening, and Jenny seamlessly tailored the day around our interests while making sure we still had time to browse local shops, enjoy the castles and wineries, and we never felt rushed. Every stop was perfectly paced, thoughtful, and engaging. Beyond her incredible knowledge, Jenny is warm, personable, professional and it was genuinely lovely to spend the day with her. At several points throughout the tour it felt like we were just spending the day with our (brilliant and educated) friend. Jenny truly set the standard for what an exceptional guide should be. The entire experience was flawless from start to finish. We wouldn’t change a thing and would recommend Jenny for any tour in the region without hesitation. If you’re looking for a fun day with a guide who is brilliant, charismatic, engaging, exceptionally well prepared, and genuinely passionate about sharing Austria’s history and culture, Jenny is the one to book.

Very informative chat about wine with a tasting and self guided tour through the shop’s cellars (which were a treat to visit during the heat wave this week!). The shop had a great selection of delicious and very affordable wines! Highly recommended for those interested in local and regional wines.

Great and unique way to spend an hour and a half whilst in Vienna, especially if you have kids. Our host was really friendly and enthusiastic and patient. There was a really great choice of toppings for the chocolate bars and choice and of chocolate too. Also found the Viator app really easy to use and had no issues with my booking. Would recommend

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this Vienna food tour! Our guide, Wolfi, was outstanding—his knowledge of both the city’s history and current affairs really brought everything to life. He created such a warm and engaging atmosphere that it felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. The food was incredible—delicious, authentic, and there was plenty of it. We were also pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of wine and drinks included throughout the tour. It was the perfect balance of tasting, learning, and enjoying. We covered a large part of the city, and honestly, as a tourist, this is not something you’d ever be able to organize or experience in the same way on your own. Everything was thoughtfully curated, and it made for a seamless and memorable experience. Wolfi truly made the tour special, and we had so much fun from start to finish. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vienna!

Unique and full of interesting facts. We were able to go at our own pace and enjoy time in the cellars. The handheld devices were easy to use, albeit could be distracting when standing next to another person. There wasn't an earbud option so noise could carry if volume was too high. The tasting afterwards was fun and added to the experience. All in all, would take family/coworkers here again.

This is absolute must do tour. If you miss this, you’re missing the best of Vienna. Indulge, immerse and celebrate. Taste the finer things Vienna has to offer with a professional chef that details the minute delicious items you will not find on your own.

We left for this tour from Vienna. We did have to figure out how to get from our ship to the pick up point which was near the Schönbrunn Palace. After that, the tour was amazing. At the first stop, it was a small winery, and we tasted several wines from the beginning of the fermentation process to the finished product. It was very educational. The Venner’s were really nice and accommodating in the wines or explained in their uniqueness. This was well worthwhile.

A great journey through Austrian wines. Stylianos (Stelios in short) has exceeded all expectations. His breath of knowledge is amazing but above all it was his guidance during the tasting of each wine. Each glass was presented and discussed and he helped us draw all we should from a glass of wine… aromas, taste, acidity, boldness… I would repeat the session any time as Stelios changes the wines often to keep it interesting. A plate of cheeses per person accompanies the tasting and Stelios suggests the pairing. The event takes place in a specially designed space dedicated to wine tasting. We tasted Guner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling from local producers but the highlight (and the surprise) of the evening were the reds Sankt Laurent and Blaufrankisch. Didn’t expect that. So happy to have joined this event.
