Our new Vienna holiday offers a fascinating and unique insight into the city’s cultural highlights in the company of two worldclass experts. Wine guru Jonathan Ray will introduce some of Austria’s increasingly varied and well-respected wines, and celebrated baritone Christopher Maltman will join us for dinner at one of the city’s best restaurants before his performance as Escamillo in Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ at the Vienna State Opera – one of two operas which we see during our stay.

In addition, we will make time to explore the mediaeval old town with a local guide and visit great museums and galleries, including the art of the Vienna Secession, the Old Masters at the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Vienna is also in the centre of Austria’s winemaking regions, between the beautiful Danube Valley vineyards and Burgenland on the Hungarian border, and we will make an excursion to one of the best wineries for a tour and tasting with the winemakers.
