Halfway between Salzburg and Vienna, the Danube River meanders through the delightfully picturesque Wachau Wine Country. Gently rolling hills, sun-drenched vineyards and romantic towns with gorgeous pastel colored-buildings straddle the banks of the Danube, while on distant hilltops, mysterious castles and imposing fortresses add to the perfect scenery.
The area is a paradise for food enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs alike. Make the most of the legendary local hospitality while you sample the fresh, authentic and down-to-earth hearty food in a cozy local ‘Gasthaus’ or indulge in a fine dining experience, at one of the area’s many Michelin starred tables. It’s also worth knowing that a new generation of ambitious wine-makers is now producing some of the world’s most exciting new white wines in the region, and, the good news is that we know where to find their greatest bottles…
For the perfect ending to your day, why not spend the night in a chateau hotel in beautiful Dürnstein, where the gentle current of the Danube will flow right under your window.
