The boat stops several times in the middle of the Danube, where you can stand completely still and enjoy the unique view of famous vineyards such as Loibenberg, Achleiten or Singerriedel. At each stop, qualified sommelier Norbert Lustig will tell you interesting facts about the vineyards and at the same time you can taste Federspiele and Smaragde wines from these vineyards from prominent winegrowers such as Knoll, Jamek and Hirtzberger.
Once we arrive at Spitz at the Danube, we return where there are a few more photo stops (e.g. Dürnstein) in optimal light and one or two wines can be tasted again.
