Having just returned from a wonderful trip to Italy filled with beautiful gardens, memorable meals, and great company, I’m already looking forward to our next adventure!
Have you ever dreamed of exploring the magnificent gardens, charming villages, and spectacular landscapes of Austria and Hungary? I’m inviting a few more travelers to join me for a very special garden and cultural adventure September 13-25, 2027 with an extension to Salzburg !
This isn’t your typical European tour. I’ve worked to create an itinerary that combines extraordinary gardens with memorable cultural experiences, beautiful scenery, delicious regional cuisine, and a few surprises along the way.
We’ll explore the imperial gardens of Vienna, including magnificent Schönbrunn Palace, discover private gardens that most tourists never get to see, wander through picturesque wine villages, and experience the fascinating landscapes of Austria’s Burgenland region.
We also have an extraordinary local host and cultural guide, Tanya, who knows the area intimately. You can view her website at Tanja’s Kitchen Garden.
Some of the highlights include:
- Spectacular palace gardens and intimate private gardens
- Charming villages, vineyards, and traditional Austrian wine taverns
- The remarkable architecture and thermal spa experience at Rogner Bad Blumau
-
Rust, Austria’s charming “City of Storks,” known for its wines and rooftop stork nests. Its stork sanctuary cares for injured birds, reflecting the town’s dedication to protecting these beloved residents.
- Historic castles, monasteries, and cultural treasures
- A magical evening cruise along the Danube in Budapest
- Wonderful regional food, wine, and the company of fellow garden enthusiasts
And for those who want to extend their adventure, there’s an optional three-night Salzburg extension, with alpine scenery, Mozart’s birthplace, and memorable Sound of Music locations.
One of my favorite things about leading garden tours is sharing these experiences with people who appreciate beautiful places, fascinating history, and the joy of discovering something unexpected. You don’t have to be an expert gardener to enjoy this trip — just someone who loves gardens, travel, and exploring new places.
We still have room for a few more travelers, and I’d love for you to join us!
