The hum of an open Italian APE, vineyard rows sliding past like green ribs, and the Vienna skyline low on the horizon — that’s where the afternoon begins. You climb a short, gentle slope, spread a blanket on a grassy shoulder of the hill, and for an hour the city’s noise falls away and the vines seem to lean in, offering shade and scent.
