Join Karin on a unique traditional Christmas culinary and music tour in Salzburg, truly one of the most beautiful regions of Austria, Europe and the world - enjoy Mozart music performances and the festive atmosphere. Aromas of roasting chestnuts, fresh baked goods and sausages are in the air, as you stroll the beautifully decorated Altstadt (old city). Salzburg during Christmas season is an unforgettable experience. The Christkindlmaerkte (Christmas markets) are in full swing and there's a good chance that snow will decorate the gorgeous old buildings. Best of all, the city is far less crowded than it is during the summer tourist season, and the streets are filled with Salzburgerland natives wearing their traditional Trachten clothing and Loden coats.
Your tour host Karin is a Personal Chef, who lives and works in Joshua Tree (near Palm Springs), California. Karin is specializing in Austrian cuisine and she will take pride in showing you true culinary Salzburg adventures as well as preparing a special traditional Salzburg Christmas dinner for you in a private home amidst candles, fruit, handmade ornaments and a traditionally decorated Salzburg Christmas tree. A lovely surprise Christmas gift will await you there!
