Your private driver and guide pick you up in Vienna. We head south, crossing the spectacular Semmering Pass. As we enter Styria, the "Green Heart of Austria," the landscape becomes lush and hilly. Relax in your spacious vehicle and get ready for a day of visual and culinary delights.

We start with the best view. We ascend the Schlossberg hill (by funicular or elevator) to see the sea of red rooftops that makes Graz look like an Italian city. We visit the iconic Clock Tower (Uhrturm), the symbol of Graz, and stroll through the park, enjoying the Mediterranean vibe.

We descend to the city center for a walking tour defined by striking contrasts. First, we immerse ourselves in history, strolling through the UNESCO-protected medieval streets and admiring the magnificent Renaissance Landhaus courtyard. Then, we step abruptly into the future as we stand before the Kunsthaus Graz, affectionately known as the "Friendly Alien." This bizarre, blue biomorphic bubble floats surrealistically among historic red-roofed houses, creating a masterpiece of modern architecture. We also admire the Murinsel, a futuristic floating steel island that connects the banks of the river Mur, perfectly symbolizing how Graz bridges its imperial past with its creative present. Before we leave, there is time for lunch. Your guide will recommend a place to try "Backhendl" (famous Styrian fried chicken) or a light meal in a trendy café. (Lunch cost is not included).

David Gölles — House of Whiskey, Gin & Rum: We leave the city and drive into the rolling hills of Eastern Styria, often called the "Austrian Tuscany" for its lush vineyards and green landscapes. Our destination is the renowned David Gölles Distillery (House of Whiskey, Gin & Rum), located right at the foot of the magnificent Riegersburg Castle. This is not just a shop; it is a production site surrounded by nature. You will visit the barrel cellar where over 700 casks are aging. Relax in the elegant lounge or on the terrace with a spectacular view of the castle. You will enjoy a curated tasting flight of their premium spirits—from the complex "Ruotker's" whiskey to the aromatic "Hands On" gin and "Ron Johan" rum. It is a world-class experience in a rustic, authentic setting. (Tasting flight included)

After enjoying the spirits and the fresh country air, sit back in your comfortable seat. The drive back to Vienna takes you through the scenic countryside, concluding a day of perfect contrasts: urban design in Graz and artisanal excellence in the "Tuscany" of Austria.
