On this tour, we embark on a culinary journey through time. You’ll learn about historical markets, such as the Viennese Crab Market since when we eat Kipferl in Vienna and how ingredients and spices we take for granted today found their way to us. You will learn how Lent influenced our menu, how coffee changed breakfast habits, and how sausage stands are historically connected to Napoleon. We will look at three levels:
1. The ingredients: During the tour, you will learn where our most used ingredients come from, since when they have been in use and on which route they came to us.
2. Viennese dishes, from whom we learned them and where they have been further exported to.
3. How groceries and the method of preparation changed throughout history.
The tour includes various small tastings throughout the tour. Do not expect a full lunch on this tour but small samples that will complement the stories you will hear. The tastings are included in the tour’s price.
***Tour highlights***
* Exploring Vienna’s culinary past
* Examining local and foreign ingredients
* Understanding the development of Viennese dishes
* Small tastings along the way
And much much more!
***Why this tour***
This tour is perfect for both culinary lovers and history lovers. Vienna’s culinary past is much richer than what many think and while it’s known today for its Schnitzel and Strudel, it has and had a lot more to offer. On this tour our guide Max will tell you some fascinating stories that will awaken your curiosity and appetite.
This tour is perfect also for children who love history. This tour is accessible, though the old Viennese streets might be a bit challenging. Please remember to bring warm clothes to enjoy the tour in any weather. We are looking forward to welcoming you to the tour!
