Salzburg tastes of brewing heritage, coffee house culture and fine confectionery. Your guide leads you to the places where these delights are at home.
The tasting tour begins at the Green Market on University Square, among farmers' stalls, pretzels and regional produce. Your guide explains how Salzburg's cuisine evolved between the Alps and the prince-archbishops' court.
Beer has been brewed in Salzburg for centuries, including by monks. You will find out which breweries shaped the city and what makes a traditional beer hall special. Things get sweet with the Mozart ball, invented by a Salzburg confectioner in the late 19th century, and with Salzburger Nockerl, a soufflé said to resemble the snowy local peaks.
A stop at one of the old town's historic coffee houses rounds off the tour. We choose the stops according to your tastes. The tour is private and priced per group.
