Vienna

The "Grape Grazing" Winery Tour

The apricot schnapps brewing

"Today I had one of the best days of my trip so far
I went on the Grape Grazing Tour in Vienna with Mitch's Tours
A full day from 9.30am to 7.00pm cycling through wineries in the Wachau Valley in Austria!!
Tasting wine and liqueur and schnapps and swimming in the Danube!!
Was a top day!!"

"We got to the next place and the owner had just been given his licence to brew schnapps
so we were able to watch
It was apricot of course and we got to taste it on its first run through
- it was about eighty-percent alcohol and was really strong!!
I couldn't finish mine but it was good to see it being made the old fashioned way"
