About this tour
This session moves through the old town's food streets, from the bakery windows of Schmiedgasse to a wine cellar built into the wall and back to the market square stalls. You see trays of schneeballen shaped around a wooden mould before I explain the Silvaner wine grown on the valley's terraced slopes. The walk ends at a stall selling onion tart, a dish tied to the region's autumn harvest.
We open with a short sound check outside the first bakery. I move slowly between the three stops, since there is a fair bit to explain about each one, and take questions throughout about the local produce. Afterwards I send a short list of what we saw with where to find it.
This suits anyone curious about Franconian food and wine beyond the usual pastry photos. It also works well as a lighter session alongside a longer history walk.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
