Vienna · The Old Danube · May to September
In short
An Island on the Old Danube is a summer evening in Vienna: silent electric boats across the water, a private concert on the island, a wine tasting as the light drops, and dinner served where the city cannot reach you. It runs from May to September, and Avellera arranges it privately as part of a tailor-made journey.

Silent electric boats out across the water, a private concert on the island, a wine tasting as the light drops, and dinner served where the city cannot reach you.
Good to know
Yes. With An Island on the Old Danube, Avellera takes you across the water by silent electric boat to an island in Vienna for a private concert, a wine tasting as the light drops, and dinner where the city cannot reach you. The Old Danube is a calm former arm of the river within the city. Avellera arranges it within a tailor-made journey.
An Island on the Old Danube runs from May to September, when Vienna's summer evenings are long and warm enough to stay outside until dark. The wine tasting is timed for the moment the light drops, followed by dinner on the island. Avellera chooses the evening around your stay and arranges the boats, the concert and the meal.

On the Water
17Along the river past Aggstein castle and terraced vineyards to Dürnstein, and a tasting in a cellar held by one family for generations.
18A small private yacht, a skipper who knows which side channels are worth the detour, and champagne on deck. Lunch or dinner served on board, wherever you stop.
20A private charter on Lucerne, Brienz, Thun or the Wolfgangsee. Skipper, catering and the route left open, with the mountains standing over the water on every side.
