Wiener Weinwandertage (Vienna Wine Hiking Days) is a unique autumn tradition where the vineyards surrounding Vienna open their trails to the public for a festive weekend of wine tasting, scenic walks, and culinary delights. Every late September or early October, locals and visitors alike wander through rolling hills covered in vines, stopping at heurige wine taverns, sampling seasonal dishes, and enjoying panoramic views of the city and the Danube River. It’s a perfect blend of nature, culture, and wine heritage, showcasing Vienna as the only capital city in the world with such extensive vineyards within its limits.
