For wine lovers, history lovers, or simply those interested in a relaxing day away, this experience was extraordinary on many levels. From the comfy drive down the valley to the times in ancient and inviting towns, to the mini-cruise down the Danube - so much fun was packed into a time-flies afternoon.

What a wonderful time we had. Santiago was an excellent guide, and provided guidance in both English and Spanish for our group as needed. Plus, he was super knowledgeable of all the wines, the area, and was just fun to chat with about life during the can ride and our group lunch break. As sellers of Domaine Wachau wines at our Restaurant in America, it was exciting to meet the producers in person and get a taste of all the different wines. Plus, getting the contrast with the slightly larger producer and the smaller, family growers was really exciting. A really really hot day made for some lovely white wine. The valley was gorgeous and the stop in Durnstein was super cute and just the right amount of time. They have several different liquor and chocolate sellers so you can get unlimited free samples by hopping from shop to shop. The lunch had great vegetarian options for us, the river cruise was lovely and scenic, and we got a quick pick in Melk before heading home. Thanks Santiago!!!

Lovely day out with a great guide in Thomas, who was relaxed and genuine, with good knowledge both locally and about wine. Some ways to drive to the valley of course but the way there was pleasant with nice talks and explanations of the area, and several stops throughout the day. Wine tastings (two) were nice and a bit adjusted according to our taste, and generous in both glass sizes and numbers. Easy to buy wines if you wanted but no problem if not. A calm (perhaps a bit slow) boat ride with nice strudel and some coffee (not included). Lunch stop was good value for money. Overall just what we wanted and a great way to spend a day in Wachay Valley!
