25 reviewed
Vienna is the only capital that grows wine inside its own city limits, and come evening the Heurigen on the hill fill up.

Sample six Austrian wines in Vienna’s 2nd district with Stylianos. Small group, pairings, and clear tasting lessons in English.
“We highly recommend experiencing Austrian wines with owner, Stylianos. He was very knowledgeable about the wines of the region as well as the local cheese. He had a vast knowledge of the wine industry as a whole. He can also host tastings from other countries. This should be one of your stops in Vienna.”

“What a fabulous afternoon. Stephan was a wonderful host, we saw the hidden cellars of Vienna that we would never have seen, with fascinating history and stories.

Step into Schlumberger Kellerwelten in Vienna: 300-year-old sparkling wine cellars, audio guide, and a bubbly tasting included with entry.
“Once again I had to e-mail the .pdf file Viator sent and have the staff at Schlumberger print it out before the tour would commence. No guest Wi-Fi had to use my precious mobile data to send the e-mail. Although the print out says English tours take place at 2pm on Wednesdays that does not happen instead you just show up and leave your driver's license or other form of identification and get an iPod with a pre-loaded audio tour available in multiple languages. Follow the audio tour through the facility which is very informative. Then you return to the start and exchange the iPod to get your identification back.…”
