Vienna’s streets pulse with more than just imperial history and vibrant culture — beneath them lie a web of hidden wine cellars that reveal a quieter, richer side of the city. Wien mal anders offers a distinctive hands-on experience that draws visitors into this underground world, combining wine tasting, local flavors, and deep historical roots over a concise two-hour walk through the heart of Vienna's Innere Stadt.
Starting near Stephansplatz, this carefully curated tour grants access to three exclusive, historical wine cellars tucked away in the bustling urban fabric. These intimate venues preserve the heritage of Viennese wine production, highlighting centuries-old practices still alive today. Participants savor three authentic, regional wines selected for their representation of Vienna’s winemaking tradition, from crisp Grüner Veltliner to the region’s subtle Rieslings, complemented by regional delicacies that spotlight local ingredients.
What sets this tour apart is its seamless mix of urban discovery and sensory indulgence.
