Bespoke wine experiences, built around you.

Good Trips brings together great wine, the people behind it and the places that make each region distinctive.

Prviate, small-group journeys through Austria’s wine regions, shaped around your interests, the relationships we’ve built along the way and the places we think are worth knowing. Behind-the-scenes access and memorable experiences you might not find on your own, with the freedom to make the trip yours.

Two seasonal starting points. Plenty of ways to make them yours.

EXPLORE AUSTRIA, YOUR WAY

Good Trips starts with a season, a region or simply something you want to experience. From there, we build the journey around you.

Want a morning in the vineyard with the grower who tends it? An afternoon in a cellar that rarely welcomes visitors? A long lunch that turns into dinner, or a deep dive into one grape, one style, one producer? Tell us what excites you, and we'll find the way in.

You bring the curiosity. We’ll take care of the rest.

TWo SEASONS TO BEGIN WITH

For 2027, we’re building Good Trips around these two moments in Austria's wine year, with spring in Lower Austria and harvest in Styria. They're starting points rather than fixed itineraries, with plenty of room to shape the trip around your group.

SPRING AWAKENING
Budburst, and the new vintage begins.

The vines come back to life as growers prepare for the season ahead. It’s a chance to see the vineyards at the start of the season and meet the people shaping the vintage from the very beginning.

We anchor this journey in Lower Austria, moving between the cellar doors of the Weinviertel and the striking terraces of the Wachau.
ENQUIRE NOW
HARVEST VIBRATION
When the wine year comes alive.

Harvest brings the vineyards and cellars of a wine region into full motion. It’s a chance to see the work behind the bottle, meet the people making the wines and see the region at its busiest.

We anchor this journey in Southern Styria, where steep vineyard slopes set the scene and harvest sets the rhythm of the day.

A FEW DOORS WE CAN OPEN

Every Good Trip is different. These are just some of the doors we can open along the way.

in the cellar

A look behind the bottle.

Tank and cask tastings, back vintages, blending sessions and time with the people making the wine.

In the vines

Get a little closer to the action.

Budburst in spring, harvest in autumn, or the chance to roll up your sleeves and take part in the harvest yourself.

At the table

Good food, good wine, good company.

Long lunches, cooking experiences, home-cooked meals and regional food worth travelling for.

ABOVE THE VINES

A different view of the landscape.

Hot-air ballooning, panoramic views and a different perspective on the vineyards.

BEYOND THE BOTTLE

There’s plenty beyond wine.

Markets, villages, architecture, local culture and the experiences that give each place its character.

WHERE YOU'll STAY

LOISIUM’s design-led wine and spa hotels sit among the vineyards, with each property rooted in the region around it. Each season is based at its own LOISIUM, so you wake up in the middle of what you came to see.

LOISIUM Langenlois

Kamptal, Lower Austria

Architecture by Steven Holl, vineyard views from minimalist rooms and suites, plus a spa club with a heated outdoor pool and swimming pond. Surrounded by vineyards, it gives you a beautiful base to come back to between days of tasting, exploring and long lunches.

LOISIUM Südsteiermark

Ehrenhausen, Southern Styria

Glass-framed views over the rolling vineyards, a spa club with a heated outdoor pool and a terrace made for lingering over a glass of wine. Surrounded by the steep, green hills of Southern Styria, it’s a beautiful base to come back to between days of tasting, exploring and long lunches.
