Carinthian cuisine blends Alpine tradition with influences from Italy and Slovenia. Your guide takes you on a tasting journey through the old town.
The Benedictine Market is Klagenfurt's culinary heart. Farmers from all over the region sell speck, cheese, honey and baked goods here, alongside stalls with specialities from the Alpine-Adriatic area. Your guide explains what no Carinthian table can do without.
You will hear about Carinthian Kasnudeln, filled pasta with an artfully crimped edge, about Reindling, a festive yeast cake, and about table manners of past centuries. Between tastings your guide shows you hidden corners of the old town.
We choose the stops according to the season and your tastes. The market is not open every day, and we plan the tour accordingly. The tour is private and priced per group.
