The 500 vines you can adopt grow on steep terraces above the Danube near Dürnstein, in Austria's Wachau. Take a short tour in clips and photos: the rows, the hands that work them and the cellar where the wine is made.

Short clips from the terraces, filmed by the Vinpit team on our visits and from the air.
What you'll see
Up the terraces, through the harvest, into the cellar and on to the glass.
Dry-stone terraces climb the slopes high above the Danube, row after row.
The slopes are too steep for machines, so the vines are pruned and the grapes picked by hand.
The grapes are pressed and the wine is made with nothing added.
At the end of the day, the wines from these terraces go into the glass.
