Train ride to Baden
After a 30-minute train journey south, you will arrive in the lovely spa town of Baden, once a favourite country retreat of Beethoven. You will meander through the classic ‘Biedermeier’ village centre and its gorgeous parks before entering the vineyard landscape…

Vienna Woods Vineyard Hike
En route, you will hike to a wonderful lookout point, literally above the canopy, overlooking the vineyards, and three countries below. You will then continue across the vineyards past lush green vines.

Traditional Austrian lunch in Gumpoldskirchen
The walk ends in the picturesque and historic wine village of Gumpoldskirchen, where you will replenish your energy at one of its traditional Austrian wine taverns (lunch not included).

Wine tasting and Q&A with local producer
After lunch, with full stomachs and endorphins surging through our bodies, the highlight of the day is a wonderfully intimate wine tasting with one of the region’s finest vintners.
