This tour was a highlight of our trip in Austria and exceeded our expectations. We booked a private trip for our group of 4 and the guide and driver were super flexible to our plans. We did the castles and wine tasting to have a mix of history and wine and one member preferred beer. The first castles were amazing and the guide was amazingly knowledgeable. She even filled in for a guide who refused to do the tour in English for us (even though it had been reserved as such). We stopped at an amazing traditional Austrian lunch in the vineyard and had the most amazing roasted pork elk I’ve ever had and some great Grüner Vetliner wine to accompany. Then we stopped at the Wald Shütz winery tasting location. The sommelier was fantastic and even had beer to offer our group who didn’t like beer as well as a tour of the cellar. We got to taste some private stock and even buy some wine not for sale yet.
