Austria Unveiled: Grüner, Riesling & Alpine Reds

Discover the wines of Austria, a country where dramatic Alpine landscapes, cool continental climates, and centuries of winemaking tradition come together in the glass. We’ll explore Austria’s iconic Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, from crisp, mineral-driven whites to richer, more complex styles, while also uncovering the country’s lesser-known red varieties. Along the way, we’ll dive into Austria’s major wine regions, unique vineyard sites, climate and soils, and the appellation system that shapes its wines. We’ll taste four wines that showcase the diversity of Austrian wine and discover why this small country produces some of Europe’s most exciting bottles.

Instructor Bio: Victoria Tuzet

Originally from Montréal, Canada, Victoria recently relocated to the Upper Valley after several years in Southern California. A passionate traveler with a deep curiosity for wine, she plans her adventures around the world’s most celebrated wine regions whenever possible. Her wine travels have taken her through Napa and Sonoma in California; Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, Champagne, Provence, and Alsace in France; Valpolicella and the tiny towns of Tuscany in Italy; Spain’s Rioja and Cava regions; Portugal’s Douro and Porto; and even the volcanic vineyards of the Canary Islands.

Victoria spent four months living in Spain, immersing herself in the local wine culture, and later worked the 2022 harvest in France’s Rhône Valley, assisting with winemaking at an organic and biodynamic estate. She holds her WSET Level 3 Award in Wine and is currently completing the WSET Diploma, with expected graduation in 2026. When she’s not talking terroir or vintages, you’ll likely find her watching documentaries, attempting to bake, or crafting between tastings.
