Chocolate Travel Question

Matt, I guess you're going to be just in Vienna, but if you had a chance for a day trip south, I would definitely visit Zotter's manufacture. It is about 1.5-2 hrs from Vienna on a motorway (direction Graz). What makes it far superior to any shop is the heavenly smell! Plus you can taste everything, have a tour of the factory, see a film about cacao - best to find out more here
Chocolate Theater Also, round the corner from Zotter's place, there is a spectacular castle "Riegersburg".
Xocolat also make their own truffles and other delicious things at their premises in "Serviten gasse" and it is very close to their shop in Freyung. Actually, one of my favourite shops in Vienna that is also easy to find is Meinl am Graben. They have a decent selection of chocolate, but additionally other delicacies...it's great to have a lunch there!
Well worth visiting is also "Leschanz" in Freisingergasse 1 in the 1.district (and their workshop in Ballgasse 4), Mr Leschanz is known as the Schokoladenkoenig (chocolate king).
Enjoy your trip!
