Tyrolean food is hearty, honest and full of mountain flavour. Your guide takes you to the best places for tastings in Innsbruck.
Tyrolean speck, air-dried and lightly smoked, is a protected speciality with a long tradition. Your guide explains how it is made and why every valley swears by its own recipe. Add to that aromatic mountain cheese from the Alpine pastures and bread from the region.
Between tastings your guide tells you about Alpine farming, the life of mountain farmers and dishes like dumplings, cheese dumplings and Kiachl doughnuts. At a distillery or speciality shop you sample the fine fruit brandies Tyrol is known for.
A sweet treat from a pastry shop rounds off the tour. We choose the stops according to the season and your wishes. The tour is private and priced per group.
