Austria
Austria is known for rugged Alps, pirouette-inducing meadows, and the excitement of Vienna, its capital city. But for grape lovers, a drive along the Danube River westward towards Lower Austria will lead you to the idyllic, terraced vineyards of the Wachau Valley. To the east the horizon stretches out towards infinity before arriving on the shores of Lake Neusiedl and its lakeside vineyards. Take a trip to the southern Austrian state of Styria and discover Sauvignon Blanc, the region's signature grape, growing on impossibly steep slopes.
