If tasting matters to you, we recommend adding our wine tasting tour instead. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dg-qa\">\n<h3>Do we go inside Melk Abbey or G\u00f6ttweig Abbey?<\/h3>\n<p>We see G\u00f6ttweig Abbey from the Wachau across the Danube; a visit on site is not part of this route. For Melk Abbey, it depends on the agreement whether we also go inside; entrance tickets are not included in the guide&#8217;s fee. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dg-qa\">\n<h3>Is the tour mostly indoors or outdoors?<\/h3>\n<p>The largest part takes place outdoors, in cellar lanes and vineyard terraces. Only individual stations, such as parts of Melk Abbey, may be indoors depending on the weather. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Enquire about this tour<\/h2>\n<div class=\"dg-form\"><script>\nvar
