Vienna · CHOCOLATE & PASTRY EXPERIENCES
8 reviewed
These are the 8 chocolate & pastry experiences we would put in front of a friend on their first Vienna trip, each with its price, its verdict, and the one thing worth knowing before you book.
Temper chocolate bars and sip Aztec-style Xocolatl at BO-YO Chocolate Museum in Vienna, with museum entry included.
“It was so much fun learning about cocoa and making our own chocolate bars and hot chocolate! Learning all the history of the how/when/why chocolate all began was a lot of fun as well! Definitely would recommend this experience!”
Hands-on Vienna cooking class for Wiener Schnitzel and Apple Strudel in a cozy kitchen with Chef Nabiel, plus wine or beer.
“This cooking class was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Nebeil was an amazing host who truly took care of us from start to finish. He had us laughing the entire time while still making the class incredibly informative and easy to follow. And fair warning: come ready to drink, because Nebeil will not allow anything else! The drinks were flowing, the vibes were great, and it honestly felt like cooking with a friend rather than attending a class.”
A 2.5-hour Vienna tour of coffeehouses and sweet shops near Naschmarkt, with tastings of classic coffee, cake, wafers, and Zotter chocolate.
“Tina was the loveliest tour guide for our coffee, cake and chocolate tour! What a wonderful guide! She was super personal and flexible. She took her time as we walked through the city and showed us parts of Vienna we would have never noticed. The coffee, cakes and chocolate were delicious and the stops just delightful! I can’t recommend Tina’s tour enough! My daughter and I had the best afternoon!”
Taste Vienna by subway and café-hop on a small-group sweets tour with family bakeries, history, and plenty of cakes.
“Exceptional! Few very nice surprises and the energy was simply amazing. A must see tour when in Vienna!”
Cook Viennese schnitzel and apple strudel with a local chef in a cozy city-center apartment, then eat your own 2–3 course meal.
“This cooking class was an absolute highlight of our time in Vienna! Our kids had the best time and were fully engaged the entire experience. Everything we made was delicious, we happily went back for seconds of every dish and thirds of the strudel (it was that good!). The instructor was wonderful with our family and made the class both educational and fun. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking for a memorable, hands-on experience.”
Home cooking class in Vienna: crispy schnitzel, Old Viennese potato soup, and apple strudel in an authentic apartment.
“I had not cooked in awhile. Nina made us so comfortable. She was organized and walked us through each dish. After we completed the cooking we all sat down to eat. The family recipes were delicious. I highly recommend this class.”
Make 24 Mozartkugel and orange hot chocolate in Vienna at BO-YO Chocolate Museum. Small English workshop, take-home sweets included.
“Very fun experience, helps you to live in the moment, helps you appreciate the chocolate making procedure…. And you end up with many chocolates to enjoy!!!! Our instructor was very passionate and very pleasant to work with ( Jenaiya if I am spelling it correctly)”
Hands-on Vienna pastry class: make pasticciotto shortcrust dough, mix Italian and Austrian fillings, then enjoy them on a rooftop with coffee.
“It was a wonderful activity for my family and I. It felt very cozy and we really enjoyed learning how to make these delicious treats! The hosts were very warm and welcoming, would definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun activity whilst visiting Vienna!”
