Audio Guide Description

Discover the delicious cuisine of Bavaria with the introduction of Weisswurst, the famous white sausage, first created on February 22nd, 1857. This delicacy has since become a cornerstone of Bavarian gastronomy. Join beer sommelier, cookbook writer, and Context Travel expert Stefan Hermansdorfer for an indulgent exploration of Munich's food scene.

This audio tour begins at Sendlinger Tor, a historic city gate where locals gather before heading to nearby eateries and bars. As we make our way to the heart of Munich, we'll pass by Julius Brantner Brothandwerk Brezelbackstube Altstadt, where a young, innovative baker has transformed traditional baking. Next, we'll visit Viktualienmarkt, Munich's renowned outdoor food market, bustling since 1807.

Stefan will share the quirky story behind Weisswurst's creation, explain the tradition of not serving it past noon in authentic Bavarian eateries, and even teach you how to make it at home. On our way to Weinbar Griabig, a beloved wine bar, we'll take a detour to Bar Centrale, Munich's quintessential Italian spot, where you can savor a delectable mini tiramisu.

During this tour, you'll:

Experience the most decadent, buttery, and crunchy croissants outside of France.
Explore how Bavarian dishes are perfectly matched with beer, learning which beer gardens offer what as we walk by the iconic Hofbräuhaus.
Admire the Heilig Geist church, featuring a unique pretzel in its ceiling mural.
Understand the Italian influence in Munich, once dubbed the northernmost city of Italy, due to its plethora of Italian restaurants.
Enjoy the city's best coffee at Kaffeerösterei Viktualienmarkt, where the wait is well worth it.
Walk by Zum Alten Markt, a restaurant reimagining Bavarian classics with a modern, seasonal twist.

After this 90-minute gourmet audio tour of Munich, you'll gain a profound understanding of Bavarian food culture, appreciating how tradition and innovation coexist in this culinary landscape.
