Culinary Festival 2012

Presented in Vienna already for the fifth time

On Mother’s Day weekend, from May 11th -13th, 2012, the hearts of Viennese gourmets will once again be beating faster: For the fifth time, the Kulinarisches Erbe Österreich (Austrian Culinary Heritage) initiative, together with the city of Vienna, is inviting people to Stadtpark for its “Genuss Festival” (Culinary Festival). 

This popular gourmet event has all sorts of things to offer for 2012. With its motto, “Austria’s best manufacturers and producers out in the open air,” more than 150 fine and specialty foods manufacturers, who will offer their specialties for tasting and purchase, are expected. The program includes gourmet foods from Vorarlberg to Burgenland, from the Lower Austrian Waldviertel to Carinthia.

The high quality of Austria’s outstanding delicacies from the country’s numerous top chefs will be highlighted. These include Siegfried Kröpfl, Helmut Österreicher, Toni Mörwald and many more. In the new gourmet tent’s modern show kitchen (a highlight of this year’s festival), the star chefs will cook up a storm and regale the audience with a variety of culinary delights at a Michelin star level. In addition, visitors can get tips and tricks from the professionals.

An entertaining program once again awaits children to the “tasting school” at the weather house.

Saturday, May 12th, 2012  from 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
