Duernstein in the Wachau is the Danube-valley wine village paired with a Wachau Riesling lunch, the Altes Presshaus serving under a centuries-old wine press.
TipTrain via Krems, then bus or ferry; the castle-ruin walk is half an hour up from the village square.
Krems an der Donau sits at the eastern edge of the Wachau, the wine-and-apricot gateway with a July ALLES MARILLE festival on a 700-metre pedestrian street.
TipCafe-Konditorei Hagmann on the main pedestrian street is the town's best apricot-dumpling stop year-round.
Salzburg, 2 hours 25 minutes west of Vienna by Railjet, runs the Augustiner Braeustubl beer garden and a long Konditorei tradition, the Salzburger Nockerl.
TipPair the Augustiner Braeustubl with a Konditorei Fuerst Mozartkugel stop; both rooms take walk-ins without a booking.
Klosterneuburg's Augustinian abbey north of Vienna runs the country's largest monastic wine cellar, the abbey-side restaurants and Heuriger taverns.
TipThe Sankt Leopold feast in mid-November (15 Nov) is when the abbey opens its largest cask; book the lunch table six weeks ahead.
Bratislava on the Danube east of Vienna is the Slovak capital in a one-hour train ride, the old-town Beisl cooking Bryndzove halusky and the Modra wineries.
TipModra and Pezinok in the Small Carpathians north of Bratislava run serious cellar tours; rent a car for the wine-village circuit.
Gumpoldskirchen south of Vienna sits on the Thermenregion's main Heuriger row, the small-town wine taverns and Zierfandler white wine a 35-minute S-Bahn.
TipThe Heuriger row runs along the main street; pick the tavern with the bushy spruce branch outside (a Buschen, indicating new wine).
Baden bei Wien south of Vienna is the Habsburg-era spa town reached by the city's longest tram, the Hauptplatz Konditoreien and the casino restaurant.
TipPair the Roemertherme thermal bath with a Hauptplatz coffee-and-cake stop; the spa town runs a long tradition of Sunday roast lunch.
