The Viennese Cuisine, which has been around for 1000 years, is a result of the pleasure-loving lifestyle of the Viennese people, who simply love to eat and therefore cook well. Spend a full week watching famous Viennese chefs at work and then trying your hand at it; and indulging in Viennese food and Viennese wines.

Be ahead of the crowd and submerge yourself in this new European food trend: At the famous Viennese Culinary Institute "Am Judenplatz" -at the Haute-Cuisine Restaurant "Drei Husaren" for cooking classes - at the eminent Café Diglas for a pastry demo-and the newly added wine-pairing events at famous Austrian vintners. Spend a full week watching famous Viennese chefs at work, trying your own hand at doing the cooking and indulging in eating food and drinking wines from Vienna. Visit a famous produce market with a chef from the school (and taste some of the wonderful Viennese sausages). Attend morning classes at the leading Viennese Cooking School "Am Judenplatz"; as a special treat attend a class at the world famous haute cuisine Restaurant "Drei Husaren" & enjoy the foods you will create. Attend a pastry demo at the "Café Diglas" watching the pastry chef create an Esterhazy Torte; and as a new feature visit well known vintners to learn about wine pairing and taste white and red Austrian wines. Visit the Imperial Table Museum to see the Habsburg porcelain collection. Dine at well-known Viennese restaurants. And as you cannot go to Vienna without "tasting the culture" you'll visit some of its great palaces. Add a concert of Viennese music and you've got the culinary tour of a lifetime!
