Vienna is surrounded by a small wine region that claims to focus on "more class and less mass production". Tour Schloss Gobelsburg - one of Austria's pre-eminent wine estates, which was run by Cistercian monks since the twelfth century, but for the last five years, has been under the management of a young vintner with a philosophy of low intervention winemaking. Visit Heuriger Wieninger to learn more about the long heritage of traditional Viennese wine bars. Featured expert, sommelier Susanne Wagner of Austria's renowned Landhaus Bacher recommends a wine to go with lamb. And Vegetarians beware! In exploring regional cuisine, Plachutta Wollzeile serves up enormous portions of traditional Austria beef stews to hundreds of customers each day. Finally, experience Taubenkobel, a unique and gorgeous hotel and restaurant in rural Austria, and a treat for all the senses!
