Incredible experience with a great storyteller and wine expert
Darryl is EXCEPTIONAL! His career in the wine sector is fascinating, and he created the best experience for us. We tasted 8 wines, which was generous, and the time flew by. We knew nothing about Viennese wines when we started but are now eager to continue our education and see what we can purchase at home.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much ! And what a pleasure it was to spend those hours with you. Such a brilliant time, and I'm so glad that I could inspire you to experience and learn more about Austrian wines! You both have great palates, so keep on sipping! Hope to taste with you again !

Prost!
Darrel was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The wine was tasty and suited to our tastes. His explanations of the differences in the wines, such as sun exposure and soils, were worthwhile. A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much - it was such a pleasure to taste with you, and to show you variations in aroma and flavor appreciation along with the other aspects of the seven wines and their regions! The time together was excellent ! Keep swirling !

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge cost?
+
Prices start at $114 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge?
+
Included: Snacks; Bottled water; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge?
+
The wine shop is easy to find and clearly marked in Google Maps. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Your Private Wine Masterclass with Int’l Expert Judge wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
