A brisk autumn wind lifts the steam from a hot apple strudel as the group slips into a low-ceilinged, candle-lit wine cellar off a cobblestone lane. This three-hour tasting tour threads through side streets and market stalls where Vienna’s food traditions are still practiced rather than packaged for tourists. Stops include a classic Wiener schnitzel with potato salad, a punschkrapfen stop for a sugar-bright pastry, a Grüner Veltliner and sausage pairing, and a final taste of warm apple strudel served in a historic cave-turned-eatery.
