Private Wine Tour from Vienna to Burgenland & Neusiedler See

If you’re looking for a wine day trip from Vienna that feels a little less obvious and a lot more memorable, this private full-day experience is a strong choice. You’ll head into Burgenland and the Neusiedler See region for visits to acclaimed wineries, a traditional lunch in Rust, a scenic lake crossing, and a stop with a celebrated local producer. It’s a relaxed, curated day that combines serious wine, beautiful scenery, and the kind of regional character most visitors never get to experience.

Your day begins with a private pick-up from your hotel in Vienna. From there, you’ll head east toward Burgenland, one of Austria’s most distinctive wine regions. Along the way, you can relax in private transport, enjoy light snacks and refreshments, and get an introduction to the region from your guide before the first stop.

The first winery visit takes you to Weingut Priller in Schützen am Gebirge, a respected estate known for its elegant Burgenland wines. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided visit through the cellar and vineyards, followed by a tasting that offers a great introduction to the local terroir and wine style.

From there, the tour continues to Rust, one of the most picturesque wine towns in the region. You’ll sit down for a traditional Austrian lunch at Kirchenwirt, adding a strong local food element to the day and giving you time to enjoy the atmosphere of this charming lakeside area.

After lunch, the experience takes a scenic turn as you make your way toward the shores of the Neusiedler See. Depending on the season and boat availability, you’ll reach the pier on foot or by private shuttle before crossing the lake by boat or ferry. It’s one of the most memorable parts of the day and a chance to experience this UNESCO-listed landscape from a different perspective.

Once across the lake, your private shuttle continues to Illmitz for the next winery visit: Weingut Kracher. This internationally acclaimed estate is one of the highlights of the tour. You’ll explore the cellar and vineyards with a guided visit, then enjoy a tasting that showcases the estate’s style and Burgenland’s excellent reputation as a wine region.

The final stop adds another layer to the experience. At Stekovics, you’ll visit a celebrated local producer known for exceptional tomatoes, chili peppers, and rare vegetables. It’s a memorable way to round out the day and a reminder that this part of Austria is not only about wine, but also about outstanding local produce and food culture.

In the late afternoon, you’ll make your way back to Vienna, ending the tour with a drop-off either in the city center or at your hotel. By the end of the day, you’ll have experienced a very different side of Austrian wine country, with a mix of acclaimed wineries, local food, lake scenery, and places that most visitors never get to see.
