Overview

Few European capitals combine urban life, landscape and wine culture as closely as Vienna.

This walk leads through the vineyards above Grinzing and presents the city from a different perspective.
From the slopes of the Vienna Woods, wide views open across Vienna – from the historic centre to the Danube and far beyond.

Along the way, the tour explains how Vienna developed between river, basin and hills, and why this geographical setting shaped the city’s history.

At the same time, Vienna’s wine culture is placed into context, including its role in everyday life: walks through the Vienna Woods and visits to traditional wine taverns remain an important part of local leisure culture to this day.

The tour includes a short stop at a traditional Buschenschank.

While the tour includes a short stop at a traditional Buschenschank, the focus lies on Vienna’s landscape, history and wine culture rather than on wine tasting.
Guests are welcome to order wine or food individually during the stop.

Please note: The route includes moderate uphill and downhill walking through vineyard terrain.

The tour concludes in Nussdorf with recommendations for the rest of the evening.
