Austrian Wine Tasting with Domäne Wachau

This is a fantastic opportunity to get to grips with Austrian wine making at its very best!

The Domäne Wachau is deeply embedded in the Wachau region of Austria on the slopes of the 'blue' Danube River. Almost 440 hectares of vineyards are cultivated by the members of this quality cooperative – that makes 30 percent of the entire Wachau vineyard area. These vineyards are on steep terraces reinforced by old dry stone walls and are part of a World Cultural Heritage. Famous names like Achleiten, Kollmitz, Loibenberg and Tausend-Eimer-Berg are found on the Domäne Wachau’s vineyard map and make it the only winery in the Wachau with wines from all of the most prestigious sites in the region.

Domäne Wachau strives to produce the absolute best quality and as a member of the Vinea Wachau Nobils Districtus quality association, produces wines in the categories Steinfeder, Federspiel and Smaragd. Grapes are sourced from their own vineyards in the Wachau; the buying of grapes, juice or wine from outside the Wachau is not permitted.

Winery representative, Auguszta Cseri, will be talking us through 7 wines from the Domäne Wachau range, including their famous single vineyard Gruner Veltiners, Riesling and Pinot Noir.
