A Flavorful Taste Of The Rhine: Savor A Private Wine Dinner

Wachau Valley

Oct 27, 2020  |  Departs 13:30  |  Returns 17:00

Austria’s iconic Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is not only home to some of the most charming towns and villages but also stunning scenic views and lush, steeply terraced vineyards.

And one of the most enjoyable ways to revel in the area’s great beauty is with a sip of its superb wine: the Wachau is one of the world’s most exciting wine regions. Stretching along the Danube between the legendary towns of Melk and Krems, the region specializes in dry, white wines that are among the best in the world.

Locally grown Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners are especially renowned and you’ll get the opportunity to sample a few. After you take the ship’s morning tour “Highlights of Durnstein & Melk Abbey,” your private Ensemble Experience will then depart from Melk for a scenic drive through the fabled Wachau Valley celebrated for its cultural landscape, fairy-tale-like settings and castles, as well as glorious vistas and vintages.

You’ll visit the historic Klosterhof located in Spitz, one of the oldest and loveliest wine-making villages in the Wachau Valley. The atmospheric Austrian estate dates back to the 12th century and was once the wine press house of St. Gottweig Abbey. Here you’ll be treated to a tasting event highlighting four distinctive vintages.

You’ll also savor regional culinary flavors with a lunch of local specialties. Afterwards, you’ll drive along the majestic Danube to meet your ship in Grein, where you can join the ship’s tour of Greinburg Castle, Austria’s oldest residential castle.
