Taste the authentic soul of Westphalia on a private, curated culinary walk through Dortmund's vibrant markets and artisan food producers. From Pumpernickel and Mettwurst to regional craft beers and Westphalian ham, this is Germany far beyond the tourist trail.
What to expect
Begin at the Markthalle or the weekly Wochenmarkt, where your guide introduces you to the traders who define Dortmund's larder. Sample thick-cut Westphalian Pumpernickel with aged Schinken, taste locally brewed Dortmunder Bier at a traditional Brauerei, and discover how Westphalian cuisine has been quietly influencing European food culture for centuries. The pace is leisurely, the portions generous, and the conversation deeply personal.
