Overview

Six Austrian wines served in a dedicated tasting room on Hollandstrasse in Vienna's second district. The session runs for 2 hours and is hosted by Wine Tasting Vienna, with a host who walks the group through what is in each glass: aromas, taste and how the wines fit into Austrian winemaking more broadly. A charcuterie-style plate of cheese, cured meat and bread arrives alongside the wines. Still water is provided too.

The tasting is built around explanation rather than just drinking. Reviews repeatedly describe it as dense with information but relaxed in tone, with a host who answers questions at length and keeps the mood light. One reviewer with prior tasting experience said it was not intimidating for early enthusiasts, while another called it one of the most informative tastings they had done on their travels. Groups are capped at 8 travellers, which makes conversation easy. Some visitors have even carried on to a wine bar nearby afterwards.

It suits adults who want to understand Austrian wine rather than just drink it. Solo travellers, couples and small groups all appear in the reviews. The tasting ends back at the same address where it begins, close to public transport.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical things to know before booking this tasting.

Getting there. The venue sits on Hollandstrasse in the 2nd district, and the listing confirms it is near public transportation. Allow time to spot the entrance, which is left of door 10 beside an Italian restaurant.
Group feel. The cap is 8 travellers, so expect a conversational session rather than a lecture hall. Reviewers describe a mix of solo visitors, couples and small groups, with plenty of back and forth with the host.
Food and drink. Six wines are poured, and one reviewer mentioned the pours are generous. Cheese, cured meat, bread and still water are included; gratuities are not, so budget a tip if the host impresses.
Notes and photos. One reviewer confirmed that taking notes and pictures is allowed, and that educational materials are provided. Bringing a pen is a good idea if you want to record the wines you liked.
Pace and setting. The session takes place entirely indoors, so no special footwear or fitness is needed. One reviewer noted the room looks modern rather than like an old brick cellar, so do not book expecting historic vaults.
Who it suits. Reviewers at both ends of the experience scale said it worked for them, from first-time tasters to people who attend tastings on most trips. Alcoholic beverages are served, so it is an adults-oriented activity; infants must sit on laps if brought along.

Common issues. The venue is a modern event room, not the brick cellar shown in some guest photos, and one reviewer marked the experience down for exactly that reason. The space is not wheelchair accessible, according to the listing. One reviewer also mentioned a truncated accompaniment, though most praise the food. Changes or cancellations inside the final 24 hours get no refund and are not accepted, so late plans can cost the full price. The listing does not state pickup; check the booking page if transport matters to you.
