Heurigen Dinner
An Age-Old Tradition Celebrates This Year’s Wine Harvest Participate in a high-spirited Heurigen dinner and toast this year’s wine at a local vineyard. Locals gather in the vintner’s wine tavern amid a festive atmosphere; glasses are full, food is bountiful and a spirit of gemütlichkeit , or good cheer, fills the soul. This cherished tradition is celebrated throughout the country and marks the bottling of the season’s vintage. The custom is key to understanding Austria and the importance of viticulture to the people who have long relied on a successful harvest. You will drive with your guide to Grinzing, in the outskirts of Vienna. Here, your host will greet you with a glass of wine. Depending on the weather, you will sample delicious local dishes on the outdoor terrace or in the rustic dining room. It is a memorable and festive way to help celebrate the year’s wine harvest, complete with live, toe-tapping traditional music. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
