Walk Schlumberger’s sparkling-wine cellar in Vienna with a 60-minute self-guided audio tour, then taste your way through flights.
“The tour is self guided (the audio guide was something similar to a watch) the explanations are pretty good, but it is a little uncomfortable (if you don’t have earbuds wired you need to hold it near the ear all the time). The wine is enjoyable; however, please note that only one standard glass is included, with additional glasses costing 3 euros for regular and 5 euros for premium. It was a good experience but it can be improved in my humble opinion.”

The food was delicious, servings generous and drinks were spectacular. He combined old school (one of our venues had been trading continuously for hundreds of years) with the new (gorgeous rooftop bar with views and exceptional cocktails). Wolfy has chosen the tour venues with care. You will get a taste of local flavour combined with excellent service (and you’ll learn how to navigate the city.

“We had a great time on the wine tour. Lukas, the guide, was so knowledgeable about wine, and its history in Austria, as well as Vienna itself. He took us to unique stops we wouldn’t have known to visit and it was fun to meet and chat with other travelers. Highly recommend! Lukas gave us recommendations for Vienna (restaurants, cafes, shopping, and more) so I’d recommend scheduling the tour early in your visit to Vienna so you have ample time to visit his recommendations.”
Private 3-wine tasting in Upper Austria with regional snacks, plus optional 90-minute bar hopping and extra pours in a small group.
“It was a very relaxed setting and the host was wonderful. I was solo, but he sat me with 2 women traveling together and we had a great discussion about travel and other things. He gave details about the wine and told us to let us know if we didn't drink red wine and he would substitute something else. I tasted 3 wines: a sparkling rose, a white and a red. To me, the sparkling rose was the best, I bought a bottle, and the red was second. The white was okay, but it had an aftertaste which I didn't enjoy. We were not rushed thru our tasting even though…”
