When the first vines sprout in spring and the hills around Langenlois wrap themselves in fresh green, one of the finest times of year begins in the Kamptal. Warm light settles over the vineyards, and the air smells of soil, herbs and wine, a landscape best experienced outdoors.
WinEcycle Tours makes exactly that possible. Small groups ride e-bikes through the wine country around Langenlois, Austria's largest wine town. The pace stays deliberately relaxed, since the point isn't athletic performance but getting to know a region best discovered slowly.
Through the Kamptal's Best Known Vineyard Sites
The routes pass through sites like Schenkenbichl, Steinhaus and Käferberg. Between the vineyards, wide views open up across the Kamptal. Winemakers share stories about their vineyard sites, and in a hidden vineyard arbour, a glass of wine waits with a view over Langenlois.
The e-bikes make for an easy, relaxed ride, letting even longer stretches pass without effort.
Which Tour Fits?
The compact vineyard tour takes about two hours through the best known sites around Langenlois. Anyone with more time can take the indulgence tour, discovering winemakers, producers and special spots across the region.
The evening tours in summer are especially atmospheric. As the light over the vineyards turns soft, the Kamptal shows its calmest side.
