Top 4 Vienna Woods Tours

1.Vienna Woods Tour with Underground Lake and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 175 reviews · 4 hours · from $129Our pick

A small-group or private minivan tour from Vienna pairs an outdoor stop at Lichtenstein Castle with a guided visit and boat ride at Seegrotte Hinterbrühl, a former gypsum mine. Finish with three local wines and snacks at a traditional tavern in Gumpoldskirchen. Guides have included Taras and Tom; bring a jacket for the chilly cave.

“Taras was great! We had a wonderful time. The only slight issue was that we were left without an English speaking guide for about 10 minutes during the boat tour of the underground lake. We had no idea what the German-speaking guide was saying but it was really cool to see it anyways!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 7 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $191Top rated

From Wien Mitte, join guide James for a small-group day in the Vienna Woods and Lower Austria. Summer brings a 9km forest and vineyard hike with a tasting among the vines; winter shifts toward wine history and tastings indoors. Both versions include Gumpoldskirchen, lunch at your own expense, and time with a local winemaker.

“Had an amazing time at this tour. James the guide was awesome, and the woods and the vineyards were amazing even though I got a sunburn (so dont forget your sunscreen!). The second part - the wine tasting - was also great and I'm not even a wine person! This tour, the views, and the whole experience will stay in my memory for a long time (I think its gonna be my new 'happy place'), and I definitely recommend it! Thank you James and everyone who's been in our group!”

Travel from Wien Mitte with a private, native English-speaking guide to the Vienna Woods and Thermal Region.

“If you’re looking for a unique wine tasting experience, this is your tour! A short 30 minute train ride gets you out of the city and enjoying the beautiful landscape of Vienna’s wine country. This private tour guided by James, who was so much fun and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, was just what we were looking for. The walk/hike, albeit quite a distance, boasted gorgeous views of picturesque landscapes with a great finish of delicious lunch and wine tasting in a beautiful little town. If you’re looking to get your steps in and want a once in a lifetime experience, this is your full-day excursion!”

“We went on the Full-Day Vienna Woods for my 25th wedding anniversary We went on the Full-Day Vienna Woods Wine Tasting Tour with James as our guide. There were only five of us, and we all got along well from the start. Luckily, the weather was perfect for our walk that day. James was really nice and made sure we were okay during the walk. The places we visited were amazing, and it was all worth it. After the walk, we had a lovely lunch in a quiet place. Then came the best part: tasting the wine. My wife and I loved it! James helped translate what the winery owner…”
