Feast your eyes on the stunning Esterházy Palace in Vienna's Eisenstadt - one of the most beautiful baroque palaces in Austria and a venue for festivals and events. Built in the late 13th century, the Palace Chapel and the world famous Haydnsaal, plus the banquet hall, and wine cellars all offer a glimpse into the life at the court of the Princes Esterházy. The Haydn exhibition explores the life of the musical maestro Joseph Haydn, who served as the composer here for 40 years.

Nestled in the Rosaliengebirge (Rosalia) mountain range, Forchtenstein Castle is a wonderful example of Middle Age fortification. Constructed for nobles in the 1400s, it now serves as a fascinating museum that shows off the wealth and power of bygone royals. The castle has changed hands many times, including the House of Habsburg. It now rests – and has for many years – in the possession of the noble Hungarian Esterházy House.

The St. Margarethen Quarry is one of Europe's biggest and oldest quarries. The sandy limestone here has been quarried for centuries - and some even went into the restoration of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the buildings around the Ringstrasse in Vienna. If that sounds old, keep this in mind: some of the stone is 25 million years old. It now serves as an impressive backdrop for concerts and events. Step into this UNESCO World Heritage site for a history lesson you'll love.

The Esterházy Winery (part of the Esterházy estate) has been producing wines in Burgenland for more than 250 years, so you won't get better wine experts in Vienna. All wines are made with the characteristics of surrounding Neusiedl, Leithaberg, and Eisenstadt and tours invite guests to sample five Esterházy wines, including the flagship wine, Tesoro.
