Welcome to Vienna, where you'll savor in a hidden gem the Best classic Wiener Schnitzel—crispy, golden veal cutlet fried to perfection. Paired with a tangy potato salad of tender potatoes in a delicate vinaigrette, and complemented by a rich, crisp local beer, this meal offers an authentic and utterly delicious taste of Vienna.
We'll take you to a typical Viennese spot to try Punschkrapfen. This delightful treat features a moist sponge cake filled with rum and jam, enveloped in a vibrant pink icing. Its rich, sweet flavors make it a quintessential Viennese dessert you won't want to miss.
Next, prepare to indulge in an authentic experience with a hidden gem: Grüner Veltliner (a type of white wine grape variety primarily grown in Austria) paired with Wiener sausage served with goulash sauce. This delightful combination showcases Vienna's rich culinary heritage, blending the spicy warmth of goulash with the savory perfection of locally-made sausages, all complemented by the crisp, refreshing notes of Austria's famed Grüner Veltliner wine. Get ready for a taste sensation that embodies the essence of Vienna's vibrant food scene.
To complete your experience, enjoy Vienna's renowned apple strudel paired with wine in a unique, historic cave setting—an authentic hidden gem. This delightful pastry, filled with thinly sliced apples and cinnamon, encased in flaky, buttery dough and served warm, harmonizes perfectly with a selection of fine wine. Immerse yourself in the rich history and cozy ambiance of this cave venue while savoring the flavors that define Austrian culinary tradition.

Wonderful way to spend an evening in Vienna. The lovely Maria, a Vienna local, took us to some of her favourite places to sample local cuisine. Along the way she shared the history of Vienna and what it’s like to live in this lovely city. We enjoyed punch cake, then she took us into a courtyard restaurant where we had a delicious pork schnitzel and potato salad for dinner. Next was her favourite sausage stand where we ate like locals. Then another cafe for a tasty apple strudel. Finally a glass of Austrian wine. She was happy to recommend another bar for us to visit after the tour, and even took us there herself. Thankyou Maria for sharing your passion for your city and for giving us a great experience.
