Vienna Wine Tours: Wine Tasting, Hiking & More

Absolutely! Having little to no experience with wine is probably even more reason why you should join us! We understand that wine can get a bit technical at times, and that alone can put a lot of people off expressing their opinions about the wines they taste. That’s a real shame though, because having fun and a bit of a laugh all while enjoying and learning about great wine is a very cool way to connect oneself back to nature.

So, yeah, wine snobbery here at Venture Vienna doesn’t really fly, as it just puts up unnecessary barriers to entry into the wine world. I’ve actually created some wine guides for beginners too, including for some of the main Austrian varieties like Gruner Veltliner and Riesling, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon.

Here at Venture Vienna, we usually like to incorporate a little activity with each of the tours and day trips that we offer. However, we also understand that some people prefer to take it easy and focus entirely on the wine, or that some of you may be recovering from injury, or you’re just not that bothered about cycling, kayaking or walking! 

If so, just get in touch via our contact page to discuss options for amending any elements of our tours that you’d prefer to skip or adapt in some way.

Equally, while we usually offer kayaking in the Wachau, biking in Burgenland, and hiking through the Vienna Woods, with a little creativity from our side, we could mix and match activities and regions to give you the ultimate Austrian wine tour experience.

Non-drinkers keep in mind that all of our wine tours from Vienna can be booked privately, and are therefore easily adapted for people with more interest in just visiting the landscapes. After all, wine is typically grown in beautiful parts of the world, and you certainly don’t need to drink it to appreciate them.

All of the places we take you to are standalone destinations with plenty of things to do. So if wine tasting isn’t your thing, but you still want to tour with us, then just get in touch.

Luxury isn’t about being fancy; it’s about being first-class. Our World Luxury Travel Award recognises our focus on small groups (max 8), private tastings with the winemakers themselves, and seamless logistics that support the environment. You’re not just booking a tour; you’re booking an award-winning standard of service.

You don’t need to know anything about Austrian wine before joining us. Our guides explain the wines, regions and grape varieties without assuming you’re already a wine expert.
If you’re primarily interested in wine and vineyards, the Vienna Woods Wine Hike is the simplest place to start. If you want wine combined with a more adventurous day outdoors, choose the Wachau kayak tour.
