1. I would like to share a bottle of Wachau Valley wine sat on the beach down in Dorset looking over to the Purbeck Hills to the west and The Isle of Wight to the east. Thankyou.

2. In Krems in the Wachau Valley, after visiting the modern art gallery.

3. In Vienna – it’s on my bucket list!

4. I would take a picnic to Stadtpark in central Vienna, sit in the shade of the golden Johann Strauss monument and enjoy a glass of delicious Austrian wine.

5. Having read about the AmaWaterways wine river cruises I think the top deck of one of ships would be a perfect place to appreciate a bottle of Wachau Valley wine while watching the scenery drift by. We already love river cruising so that we be a great combination.

6. in my back garden with my lovely husband – in the sunshine of course

7. In Linz, because some very old family friends live not too far away. We see them very infrequently, so it would be lovely to celebrate a reunion with them in a shady riverside restaurant

8. I would love to experience Wachau Valley wine on an AmaWaterways Celebration of Wine River Cruise, in the company of a knowledgeable expert and fellow wine enthusiasts. What a perfect combination: the romance of the Danube, good travel companions, wine and elegant cuisine.

9. Although we have been to Austria we have never been to the Wachau Valley so what better place to enjoy it’s produce than in the beautiful mountains of Austria. If we couldn’t get there then our own garden with our amazing family would work just as well!!

10. On the peak of Harschbichl in the Wilder Kasier Mountains – because it gives you a Tyrolean view of heaven.

11. Drink with family to celebrate the birth of our second Grabdson.

    1. Looking out from the Castle of Obidos in Portugal. Great wine in a great location. Perfect to watch the world go by.

12. In the new house we HOPE to move to…. Alas, when people pull out of the ‘chain’ our hopes of ever moving come crashing down again…. Either we celebrate the move or we drown our sorrows….

13. The perfect setting would be in one the Wachau valley vineyards.

14. To be able to taste Wachau Valley wine would set my taste buds on a journey in my imagination through the rolling hills and vineyards into the rich magical baroque history of the valley and flavours of the land

15. Vienna it is so beautiful ,The city of dreams, would love to have a Wiener Schnitzel dinner in one of their romantic restaurants

16. The romance of the regions along with our love of the classics would leave us Spell Bound with lasting memories with the lingering taste of Gruner Vetliner Wachau Valley Wine

17. This looks like a trip I want to make when I retire shortly. Can’t wat!

18. In the Wachau Valley on a cruise ship, watching the beautiful scenery.

19. Overlooking or on Wolfgangsee with our Austrian family.

20. Ideally on an Ama Waterways cruise ship meandering through the fabulous Wachau Valley itself! But, failing that, I’d settle for enjoying my Wachau valley “Wein” in the comfort of my own home, watching the Vienna New Year’s Concert on TV on 1st January 2024! Who knows, they might even play the “Wine, Women and Song” Waltz!

21. Would love to drink wine where it is made. We have see the Tyrol and that is stunning but would love to see more of Austria.

22. Would love to sip the wine in. Budapest missed the chance of going there as a teenager now a. Pensioner

23. I would most like to drink a bottle of Wachau Valley at the Vineyard, to experience the full terroir.

24. Seeing as the question is ” tell us where you would most like to drink a bottle of Wachau Valley wine, and why.”, if I’m to drink a whole bottle , I suppose that I’d better drink it in bed, where I could just pass out and cause the least amount of bother and embarrassment!

25. I would love to drink the wine at my daughter’s 60 birthday celebration. She’s kind loving caring fun a d compassionate. She’s also very intelligent and uses this for her own pastimes and enjoys the company of like minded people

26. I love Austria and have heard their wines are crisp and refreshing but have never tried them.

27. In the Wachau Valley vineyard with the producers and a platter of local charcuterie – bliss!

28. I would like to drink the wine on beach with my husband to rekindle the love we once had.

29. Sitting on the beach, with friends & family, watching the sun go down over the River Exe. Only 2 minutes from my house. That would be just lovely

30. I would not drink it. I would give it away to family and friends.

31. Hic. Pass another bottle 🍷

32. I would love to revisit Passau and drink a glass(or two!) of Wachau Valley wine there.

33. I have never visited the Wachau and know little of Austrian wines. Thusly this would be my big chance to remedy my ignorance.It all sounds quite splendid and I can’t wait to go! I would of course like to drink a bottle (or two!) of Wachau wine whilst drifting down the Danube en route to Vienna.

34. At my home with my family.

35. Nothing could beat , sitting with friends and the sun drops at a small bar or restaurant overlooking the Danube in Durnstein , glass of Veltliner under the shade of the castle ruins . Just looking forward to more good times shared and reminisce of the days just gone , share laughs food and wine .

37. What could be better than sailing slowly down the Danube, through the Wachau valley in Austria on a late summer evening? I imagine passing through glorious scenery with vineyards galore, as well as those picturesque villages and medieval castles.
    This is where I would most like to drink a bottle of Wachau Valley wine, on the deck of our boat at 6pm, sharing tales with fellow travellers of our day’s adventures.

38. On the giant ferris wheel in Vienna – what a view!

39. Would love to taste Wachau Valley wine where it is made, in beautiful Wachau Valley

40. Sitting on my yacht ,watching the sun go down over the beautiful sea(I wish I had a yacht!!)

41. We have recently returned from a Danube cruise and tasted wine when we stopped off in various places. It was delicious and would very much like to taste and enjoy more of it.

42. Gently cruising on the Danube, with my wife on the balcony while the setting sun paints the magical city of Budapest with rich golden hues. We chink our glasses of crips,clear riesling together and toast the moment with the best wine in the world.

43. I’d like to drink the wine at a castle in Germany which is on a hill above a river. I don’t know what it’s called, but my friend of more than fifty years painted it as a schoolgirl and to this day, I am still in awe of her talent.

44. In a Wachau Valley vineyard to savour the wine and see where the grapes are actually grown.

45. Sat on the terrace of the hotel in Arzl In the Tyrol where I spent many happy holidays in the 60s with my parents.

46. I’d like to drink Wachau Valley wine in the Wachau Valley Vineyard as that would mean I would also be on holiday, however, I’m very good at playing “let’s pretend” (ask my grandkids!), so am sure I’d enjoy it just as much at home in my lovely garden, with my feet up, a good book and a few nibbles to hand – bliss!

47. Dachberg for the panoramic views of the Danube and the surrounding area. Amazing and romantic.

48. Vienna – the most beautiful city, an array of beautiful Castles and old buildings and and a center from which to travel around in the day and wine and music in the evenings. What more could we wish for.

49. I would most like to enjoy a bottle of Wachau Valley wine with my ex neighbour and long time friend,Edith.She is Viennese by birth and has lived in England for many years.Sadly her dear husband passed away at New Year,her family live a long way away…one daughter is in New Zealand,and the other two not quite so far away,but still a long way off.Poor Edith has felt totally bereft since the death of Andy and similarly I have been experiencing the same sense of loss since my own husband passed away in March.
    A trip to Vienna with Edith to enjoy the Wachau Valley wine and to remember good times would be just what the doctor ordered!
