We organize tours to Austria and beyond that specialize in cooking, wine tasting, music and more! We have now added river cruising on the Danube and the Rhine. "Herzerl" is a Viennese word for 'heart' and I always say my tours are created from the heart! We offer hands-on cooking tours because cooking is my passion and I want Americans to know about Viennese cuisine. Over 15 years ago, while watch
ing yet another French cooking show, I realized how much Americans adored French cuisine and seemed to know very little about Viennese food. When I commented on this, my daughter suggested I offer a cooking tour to Vienna. This was the beginning of Herzerl Tours. When I first came to America I felt like the 'lone cry in the desert' regarding Austrian wines. Now with the popularity of wines like Gruner Veltliner, Americans are interested to go on the wine tours that I offer. Believe it or not, a group of baby boomers went on my wine hiking tour recently and loved it.
