About This Experience

Experience Vienna's legendary coffeehouse culture with a focus on its most famous creation: the Sachertorte. This dense chocolate cake with apricot jam and glossy chocolate icing has been causing debates and delights since 1832. Visit the historic Hotel Sacher, where the original recipe remains a closely guarded secret, and compare it with the version at Café Demel. Sit in plush surroundings beneath crystal chandeliers, order a Melange (Vienna's signature coffee), and spend an hour doing absolutely nothing but enjoying cake and each other.
