Inträde Schönbrunns slott & vinprovning

Well worth it. History of the area including history of wine making The place is a must see. If I had a list of top 5 things for Vienna this would be on the list!!

This was a great way to get a little bit of the palace. The palace is huge and while many would love to see everything I think many can't handle too many hours of museum-like time. This allowed us to catch some highlights and then finish off with a nice wine tasting that is within the palace walls (literally part of the walls). The wine tasting was lovely and informative. The restaurant has a nice menu too, if you decide to have some more food or wine after the tasting. We did run into one issue; when we picked up our tickets for the palace at the restaurant they gave us the wrong tickets, we lost 30 minutes trying to figure out what went wrong and why we couldn't get into the palace. No one at the palace knew anything about this, they could barely tell us where the ticket office was. Once we found the ticket office everything was set straight. We should have been given a ticket with a barcode on it at the restaurant but the staff member was confused and thought he needed to keep it. The restaurant of course allowed us to return late for the wine tasting portion and everything worked out. This was likely a one time mistake- just make sure your ticket has the barcode and you will be fine.
