Venture Vienna

Hello everybody! I'm James, originally from the UK but now living in Austria. I have led wine tours to several of Austria's most famous wine regions, including the beautiful Wachau Valley - where world-class Grüner Veltliner and Rieslings are produced, Burgenland - home to some of Austria's finest red and sweet wines, including Blaufränkisch & Zweigelt, and the hugely underrated Thermenregion - where little known indigenous whites Zierfandler and Rotgipfler reign supreme.

I founded my company, Venture Vienna, because I am passionate about meeting people from all over the world and sharing my interest in nature and wine with you. I look forward to exploring the best that Austria has to offer, and to crafting some really unique and bespoke itineraries together.

It was the best day of our trip to Vienna. James had planned the day well, he was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind, and translated for us. After meeting, he took us out of Vienna by train then on a hike past historic landmarks into the hills to see across the Vienna basin and explain the geology and how this affects the wine of the region. After that we walked down and across the slopes, across the vineyards where he told us more about the area and viticulture. The landscape and vineyards, which seem to be mainly managed organically, was stunning with an abundance of wildlife for anyone interested in birds, butterflies or insects. Then we arrived at our destination village where we bought lunch at a local restaurant then visited a vintner at his home and winery just round the corner,. We had a lovely few hours tasting 7-8 wines and buying what we wanted before taking the train back to Vienna. We'd recommend this trip to everyone visiting Vienna! The hike was the ideal setting to the day and wouldn't be challenging to anyone with a regular level of fitness.
