Styria is known as Austria's delicatessen, and Graz is where its treasures come together. Your guide leads you from stall to stall.
At one of the farmers' markets in Graz, for example on Kaiser-Josef-Platz, farmers from the surrounding countryside sell fruit, vegetables, cheese and bread. Your guide introduces products you will only find in Styria and explains why Graz likes to call itself a culinary capital.
The star is Styrian pumpkin seed oil, dark green, nutty and protected as a regional speciality. You will learn how it is pressed and why it should never be heated. Add to that runner beans, apple specialities and sweet treats.
The tour ends with a glass of Styrian wine, perhaps a Welschriesling or Sauvignon Blanc. The tour is private and priced per group.
