In Vorarlberg, Alpine cooking meets lakeside cuisine. Your guide shows you in Bregenz what makes this region special.
Vorarlberg is cheese country. The aromatic mountain cheese from the Bregenz Forest often matures for many months, and Käsknöpfle, cheesy spätzle, are a local favourite. Your guide tells you about Alpine dairies, cheese routes and the art of ageing before you taste for yourself.
Lake Constance provides whitefish and other species still caught by professional fishermen. You learn how fishing on the lake is regulated and how lake fish is traditionally prepared. A glass of regional wine goes perfectly with it, as vines grow around the lake too.
On request you ride the Pfänder cable car for views across the lake to Switzerland and Germany. The tour is private and priced per group.
