Informational and interesting

Monica_J, Jan 2024

The sommelier had a lot of knowledge to offer. We received information about the wine regions, types of grapes, the process, etc. The sommelier had also experienced the full wine making process and showed us which was cool. One of the most informative wine tastings I've had.

Fun and educational experience

Ine_E, Jan 2024

Great experience! Stylianos brings great knowledge about Austrian (and other) wines in addition to a friendly smile. Highly recommend.

Wonderful intro to AT wines

Tanja_L, Dec 2023

Approachable and fun experience in warm space close to the city center and with an enthusiastic expert guide.

Great experience

Eivind_V, Sep 2023

We were a group of 4 (two couples, but did not know each other before). Great host, very knowledgable and sharing. We had 4 wines from different regions, ranking and grapes. Tried to analyse look, smell and taste as a group. Learned a lot about Austrian wine, and wine making in general. Would do it again

Best Experience in Vienna

Megan_S, May 2023

This was the best part of our time in Vienna! Stylianos went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. He was super knowledgeable and we learned so much about wine. Can’t wait to make the trip back to Vienna and do another tasting! I could not recommend this enough. P.S. Stylianos - it was honeysuckle!

Excellent

Anala_V, Mar 2023

All was perfect, Stylianos showed he had extensive knowledge and transmitted it excellently, he told us the origin of each wine and the tips on how to taste it, a genius!!. We shared the tasting with a super nice family.

Awesome experience

thechocolateboy, Jan 2023

Sommelier Stylianos was very patient with our questions. We were the only party and had a wonderful time sampling the wines. He was very knowledgeable and passionate with his craft. Would recommend going back.

An excellent taste of Austrian wine

Joseph_L, Dec 2022

So much education on the growth of grapes and production of wine! The wine was excellent and our guide absolutely helped us work through the evaluation and enjoyment of the Austrian local wine scene.

Wonderful experience

Fidel_Z, Dec 2022

I had a nice experience and really enjoyed some of the red wines that were offered. Didn't know much about wines but he made the experience enjoyable and the mini tour you get of the cellar was cool.

A fabulous way to enjoy fine wine!!

Ingrid_S, Dec 2022

Such an amazing wine tasting experience at a Wine Club venue with Stylianos Stavridis of Exclusive Wine Experiences. We only focused on Austrian white and red wines and learned more about tasting using sight, nose and palate. Our favorites were Schloss Gobelsburg 2020 Riesling and Heinrich Goldberg Reserve 2018 Blaufrankish. The cheese and meat platter was also truly delicious! Highly recommend this event - Prost!!

Such an informative tasting session. Learned so much!

Dani_N, Nov 2022

I really enjoyed this activity. I learned so much about wine. Normally when we go to wine tastings we get very superficial information about the wine. But for this tasting, we really discussed the wine. As a wine drinker, I always struggled with describing what I like. This tasting taught me so much. I also had such a great time. I highly recommend this for those who really enjoy wine and want to learn more about wine! If you also want to do private tastings with personalized wine, just ping the business ahead.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Dani, thank you for your review and I am so happy you acquired some new knowledge and skills during out session. Don’t hesitate to contact me in case you need more wine related resources. Kind regards, Stylianos

Excellent

Gonzalo_I, Oct 2022

Stylianos was amazing! Very professional and knowledgable. Thorough introduction into Austrian wines which I really enjoyed. Also, I was the only person on this tour and he didnt cancel on me. Very recommended!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Gonzalo, thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and having the opportunity to taste and discuss about wine together. Best regards, Stylianos

Fun and informative wine tasting in 19th century wine cellar.

Courtney_R, Sep 2022

Stylianos was a fantastic host, and we really enjoyed the tasting. We learned a lot about Austrian wines (and wine in general) in a beautiful 19th century wine cellar in Vienna. I highly recommend this tour.

First class wine tasting

Martin_L, Aug 2022

I loved this activity. The wine was first class and I really enjoyed the company and knowledge of our host. The venue in the Wien wine club is fantastic. This experience is luxury five star.

Cool, cave, wine education

Mikael_S, Jul 2022

The atmosphere is unmatched, with the wine lockers and cave atmosphere. It was beautiful. I also learned a lot about all wine, but esp Austrian wine, which is an entirely new genre for me.

Perfect!
