A treat for gourmet food and wine lovers in Vienna

From 14 to 17 March 2012, the Palais Coburg in Vienna will play host to a group of top winegrowers and leading gourmet chefs at the World Wine Festival. The following month, from 20-21 April 2012, the Viennese Wine Tours will give a look behind the scenes at some of the city’s leading wineries.

Every two years Vienna's opulent Palais Coburg sets the scene for the World Wine Festival. From 14 to 17 March 2012, international top producers and star chefs will be treating wine lovers to a five-star vinicultural and culinary experience. The festival is an ideal way for anyone with even a passing interest in the trade to find out more about the world's different producing regions, and, of course, sample the finished product! Many of the growers and cellar masters will also be in attendance, and selected top Viennese chefs will provide a fitting culinary tribute to the wines on offer.

On 20 and 24 April 2012, a 25-strong group of leading Viennese winemakers will open the doors to their production facilities for two days of tours and sampling sessions. Running from 3pm to 8pm each day, the tours include cellar inspections and wine tasting masterclasses, and a separate package for everyone who loves wine. The Viennese Wine Tours are also a great opportunity to pick up good vintages at farm gate prices.

World Wine Festival, 14 to 17 March 2012, Palais Coburg, Coburgbastei 4, 1010 Vienna, www.weltweinfestival.at
