Next May 2025, Rick will be leading tours in Austria (May 8-18th) with a Budapest extension (May 18-22nd) featuring his favorite haunts from his stellar cookbook Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.

Through Global Gourmands, Rick will lead you to the best cafes and bakeries of the Hapsburg Empire, including Vienna, Salzburg, and Bad Ischl, and Graz, with an optional three-day tour to Budapest (May 18-22, 2025). Along with traditional Austrian pastries, aficionados of coffee, wine, history, dessert, food, music, nature, and architecture will all find something to love in these beautiful locales.
