Detailed Description
You will discover the beauty of the Wachau Valley on this fun small-group 9 hour tour of cycling and wine tasting in Austria’s most famous wine region.
Renowned for its quality wines, stunning villages and picturesque landscape, the Wachau Valley is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed day away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Arrive by train, hop on your bike and start exploring.
Breathe in the fresh country air and take in the spectacular scenery as you ride through historic, charming cobblestone villages. Stopping at local wineries, you will taste a variety of wines as well as other delicacies.
In your allocated free time, explore the UNESCO world heritage site of Dürnstein, a well-known medieval town in the Wachau, overlooked by the ruins of the Kuenringer castle where King Richard Lion-heart was imprisoned in 1192.
Then, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local family-run restaurant. After lunch, relax by the Danube, go for a swim or enjoy a game of beach volleyball.
Note: The Vienna wine tasting bike tour is about 24 km long, biking at a very leisurely pace. It is suitable for all ages, consisting of a mainly flat ride with few small inclines leading up through small villages. You will stop frequently throughout the tour, with the longest non-stop biking section being 20 minutes.
