Walking through vineyard ブドウ畑を歩く

One of my friends called me to go for a walk in vineyard in a small town near Baden. Usually we would think of Grinzing where there are lots of Heurige (wine restaurant) in 19 district of Vienna, this small town seems to be much bigger than that. It seems that not many tourists would visit here, wine out of this region would be consumed around this area.

友人がバーデンの近くにあるワインの産地でブドウ畑を散歩しようと誘ってきた。普段はウィーンの１９区にあるグリンツィングに行くところだが、ここはグリンツィングと比べても遥かに大きい。あまり観光客は居ないようで、ワインはほとんどがこの近辺で消費される模様。

From the train station we walked along vine yards toward Baden. The view from Grinzing over Vienna city is wonderful, but the scenery here was also excellent. Grapes have been already cropped, there were still some left.

鉄道の駅からワイン場だけを通ってバーデンの方向に向かう。グリンツィングのウィーン市内を一望できる眺めもなかなかだが、ここの景色もなかなかだ。ぶどうはもう収穫されたようだったが、まだところどころに房が残っている。

We wanted to try Sturm, a typical drink of this season which is a sort of wine before starting fermentation, but unfortunately it has already gone at two locations.

みんなでシュトゥルムを飲もうと言っていた。ワインが発行を始める直前の飲み物だが、残念なことにすでに売り切れていた。

This happy event first took place from this year in Vienna at Prater park. Having been so busy for a long time, first post after almost three months. This 10 days event was wonderful, I went there twice on weekend. They had four different tents. 1L beer costs 7.7 Euro, was absolutely ok price. There was no huge selection of beer but I am sure to go there next year again.

この喜ばしいイベントは今年からウィーンのプラター公園で開かれることになった。しばらく仕事で忙しくしていて、最後の更新から３ヶ月。この１０日間のイベントは素晴らしかった。週末に２回も行った。４つのテントが建てられ、１リットルのビールが７．７ユーロ。全く問題ない値段。ビールの種類はそんなに多くはないが、来年も必ず行きたいと思う。

0.5L and 1.0L

For those who wants to sniff the atmospare, a short video stream is from here.

I just happened to sit in front of three people from Vienna that are to travel to Japan next year, we started to talk about it on and on.

たまたま目の前に座った、来年日本に旅行をする予定の３人連れと、旅行についての話が弾んだ。
