Cuisine & Delights

Culinary tours and food and pleasure tours in Austria open the eye to the stories behind dishes, drinks, markets and regional traditions. Austrian cuisine is shaped by Alpine regions, Pannonian influences, imperial court cuisine, rural everyday culture, winegrowing, coffeehouse culture and many neighboring countries. A good culinary tour shows not only what tastes good, but also why certain dishes, products and rituals emerged in exactly these places.

Regional specialties and culinary diversity

From Wiener schnitzel, apple strudel and Sachertorte to cheese, dumplings, fish, game, pumpkin seed oil, apricots, wine and cider, Austria offers great culinary variety. Culinary tours can explain how climate, landscape, trade, agriculture and history shaped the cuisine of individual regions.

Markets, wine and craft traditions

Enjoyment becomes especially vivid where products are created, sold and shared. Markets, wine regions, bakeries, pastry shops, inns, wine taverns, producers and small manufactories tell of craft, quality, regional knowledge and living tradition. A culinary tour can show how closely taste, origin and cultural identity are connected.

Food as a gateway to culture and history

Culinary tours and food experiences are ideal for people who want to experience Austria with all their senses. They combine tastings, stories, encounters and regional features into an authentic experience. It is not only about eating and drinking, but about a deeper understanding of ways of life, hospitality, traditions and Austria’s culinary diversity.
