Delicioso - A very knowledgeable guide explained Vienna’s top quality wines and viticulture in an ancient cellar. Our guide offered generous samples of 3 different wines and a small dish of bread and charcuterie. There were very helpful visual references and the whole experience was well explained to a newcomer.

Excellent Austrian wine tasting with great wine guide - The wine tasting at Haas and Haas shop in Vienna was excellent. Cornelius our tasting guide was very good. The group was 11 people and lasted about 1 hour. The visit started by Cornelius taking the group down to the cellars under the shop for a look around and gave us a short history. The tasting was at a long table in part of the cellar. The cellars were empty apart from the wine tasting table. We tasted 3 Austrian wines, two whites and a red. All were very good and different. We were also given a small platter of meat, cheese, bread and dip to try with the wines. We have been on several wine tastings around Europe and the amount of wine given was about right for a good tasting.
The group had first timers and more experienced wine tasters and Cornelius made sure all were included. He talked about the wines and the history of Austrian wine making and the grapes and what he saw in each wine so lots of information. The only downside was 3 Americans talking loudly all the time to each other while Cornelius was explaining things to the group. This was a good well-paced introduction to Austrian wines. Cornelius was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and made this a very good experience. If you want to try Austrian wines with a good guide then I would recommend you book this experience.

Please go; great staff and wine is delicious - I visited on Wednesday the 12th. I didn't catch the name of our guide, I apologize, but he did an excellent job. I enjoy alcohol only occasionally, so I am not overly experienced with wine, but nevertheless I felt very welcome and at ease (helped too by the company of a nice and more knowledgeable English couple who were in my group--shoutout to them as well). It was interesting to learn about some of the many, many details and history as well; definitely something for further reading. And, I appreciate being accommodating with English. Danke schön!

Educational and Fun - Great informational tour about Vienna wine and it's origins. Tried 3 bottles, wish we got a heavier pour or 2nd glass but otherwise delicious (FYI snack plate was beef salami which was very yummy)

Short presentation to appreciate Austrian wines. - Tour of multilevel cellars under wine shop. Explanation of historical place and use.
Small plate of cheeses, salami, bread and spicy apricot jam to accompany the wines.
Tasting of three wines from Vienna area - two white and one red. Displays on the wall to show different categories of wines in Austria were very helpful.
Our guide and server was very informative and humorous.
The entire experience was fairly short but covered enough information to give us an appreciation for Austrian wines.
Recommend the tasting.
