Opening hours: Daily from 7:00 to 24:00, breakfast service from 7:00 to 14:00. Unless you're part of a large group or are willing to pay like one, don't bother coming here.It was a waste of over an hour and my impression of Vienna soured. Actually, anyone who comes from Stephansplatz and does not make it to the Schwedenplatz again, will return here to ice cream or take a stanitzel from the countless creations. Which we later learned from locals is used as a syrup for ice cream and is in no way drinkable. When my father (despite my warning) went back in to ask about at least buying something, he was recommended a sweet liqueur. I was ecstatic not to have pre-paid anything because after that treatment anything would've tasted like ash in my mouth. Considering that the previous group was still raucously tasting, I was not expecting to happen anytime soon When I went up to ask about our tour, the lady manning the counter barked at me that we should not be inside and need to wait outside (in the cold) until our large bus group arrived. After walking around the block for half an hour, a previous large bus tour group started trickling out and we slipped inside. The shop attached to the museum was closed, the museum door was closed and there was no one to ask about anything. I should have known right away that the tour and tasting was not to be. We were half an hour early as the museum is out of the way and is not next to any other landmarks. Maybe I had high hopes after the pleasant email exchange when I scheduled the tour for me and three others, but they were certainly crushed when we arrived for the tour. Unfortunately the bottles were all glass and heavy so as much as we wanted to, we couldn’t buy any to bring home but we had a lovely hour or so there. These schnapps glasses are the smallest versions of model i-103/2003 and were produced in different sizes (for larger tumblers of the same shape, see museum no. I particularly enjoyed the salted caramel schnapps, the apple strudel schnapps and the creamy egg-type schnapps (similar to advocat). (Incidentally we were the only people booked in for the tour so we essentially had a private guide). We then went into the tasting room where we could try anything we wanted. The tour will begin with an introduction to the history of the Mekhitarist Congregation in Vienna, recovered from bygone days. It really looked like I was about to take a Professor Snape’s potions class at Hogwarts. The backdrop was row upon row of antique bottles containing all the ingredients for the different flavours.
