Wine Tasting Bike Tour departing Vienna
Tour / Activity
Location: Vienna, Austria
My Review: Fantastic day out!
This was the best thing we did while visiting Vienna. We had also been on a boat tour through the Wachau valley, but you see the scenery so much better when cycling through the wine terraces yourself. The cycling is very easy - all nice safe cycle paths and short distances (we rode 6km, 6km, 600m total). We went to three wineries and tasted a total of 11 wines (almost entirely white as that is primarily what is made in this region) along with some schapps, marmalade and mustard. Our tour guide, Josh, was really knowledgeable about the region and very nice and approachable; and the group size (about 18 I think) was perfect for getting to know the other people on the tour. One of the best things is that the tour company is not attached to the wineries so they are not trying to flog you the wines - if the guide recommends a wine, it's because they like it! I really can't recommend this tour enough, it was lots of fun and we saw the most breathtaking scenery while tasting the Wachau region's amazing wines... perfect!
