Tour the 2nd oldest Porcelain Manufacturer in Europe with us! | Augarten, our last day in Vienna 🇦🇹

[@pw4075]

Your aunt is a treasure! So sweet that she mouthed that she preferred the Imperial Torte to the Sacher Torte. What a sweetheart!

[@ceeblazuk7816]

I agree with Auntie!

[@Motherhubbard170]

lest she offend anyone, a true lady

[@spinstercatlady]

So cute 😍

[@IanSmith-ki8bz]

I've had the Sacher Torte there and I didn't think it was anything special, but the setting is!

[@monalisa233]

I am with your Aunt! The one at the Hotel Sacher was pretty dry.....I was expecting it be better..

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

You truly make us all feel like we are your best friends and traveling with you. We even have a new Aunt and Uncle, and they are really fun!!

[@joanies6778]

Perfectly said. 😍

[@avioncamper]

Vienna is absolutely beautiful. The museum and the opera house. Wow, this city should be on everyone's bucket list. The porcelain museum was truly magnificent.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

How do I find the words to thank you? I am not a patron, though I wish I could be. I am a retired single Memere living on a VERY tight budget Stephanie. YOU make it possible for me to see the places I’ve wanted to visit ALL my life. Your guidance instructs and informs me allowing a deeper appreciation for everything you have filmed. The graciousness of your Aunt and Uncle make sharing it all such a joy. I share Phillips excitement about porcelain and table settings. I LOVE to see him enjoying it SO MUCH! Bless you Stephanie and THANK YOU DEAR.

[@birgittvanwijk9646]

Dear Stephanie and Philip, thank you for taking us along on another excellent adventure! I just love that you both delve into the history of all things beautiful. The China and dress pattern remind me of ikat weaving which was brought to Europe by the Dutch East India Company, Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie from their Indonesian trading posts during the Dutch golden age in the 17th century. As you know, once England invented the very sleek and vast tea clippers the Dutch global power declined. Then England became the super power with trading posts all over Asia. And again foreign textiles became all the rage. This time India’s chintzes and Kashmir shawls. As for spy clue words, so fascinating that all three countries chose the squirrel! But as Philip knows, the Dutch chose a word of the most difficult pronunciation: Scheveningen. If you are not a native you fail miserably. Aside from that, I am glad to be back. The past two years were very difficult. For a long time I was seriously ill. My family was and is absolutely wonderful! The Château Diaries etc. are and were so important to bring joy and diversion. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Having been an early donor, your ever expanding success in bringing the chateau back to its former glory is such a delight! Looking forward to many more of your excellent adventures ❤

[@TheChateauDiaries]

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been unwell and hope that you’re completely recovered now ❤️

[@normamurray4450]

Oh my goodness...an ice cream holder that looks like that? Wow! This is so interesting....the history, the story of the setting for one! The food!!!

[@elahda.2958]

As a person born in Vienna I can only add that although we may go to Sacher for Wiener wurste as a fun nostalgic occasion (although we can get them at every wurstel stand) we would never order a piece of Sacher Torte. That is for tourists that do not understand that the slice of cake is too large and is dry. We walk around the corner to the store on Kartnerstrasse and buy the Sacher wurfeln. That is what we eat and gift. Of my entire family and friends in Austria only one likes the Imperial Torte because he loves marzipan.

[@barbaraputz]

Squirrel = Eichhörnchen, greetings from Vienna! Beautiful to watch how you all enjoyed my hometown!

[@rayn8740]

OMG, Stephanie, I was nearly in tears at "good night." The bond between you and Chantel is really beautiful. I'm always cheered when I see her and your Uncle Steve. What must Amaury's brother be like? Do they realize they have fans? I'm still thrilled to see the little bits we're thrown of Amaury. I get it though, he signed on to be an artisan, not a social media star or influencer. A bodhisattva told me once that the universe gives us a finite amount of good fortune, and not to waste it. That's what she told me. ❤ from TX!

[@williampierce2356]

I love watching you and Philip together his enthusiasm when talking of the porcelain factory and adding the skipping and your calling it to his attention is adorable. You two were just lovely together and I wish the two of you many many years together. God bless you both. Keep up the great work. We'll keep following❤

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

You can get a direct train from Paris to Vienna. There are (or sued to be, unless it has changed) day and night options. Worth looking into for your next Viennese adenture! Thank you for the video!

[@thedesken]

We couldn't ask for a better guide. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion ❣️

[@Seth-gd4mz]

One of the best videos tonight! Love your Aunt and Uncle so much so sweet to each other and Everyone around them 🌹

[@lovereikiASMR222]

Another fabulous video from Austria! Loved every minute of it. Thank you xx

[@taitweigel64]

In spite of my love of simplicity, I enjoy the porcelain patterns that fit into your chateau, wallpapers and patterned fabrics, formal dinner settings and learning more about toile, and everything French..

[@atterol765]

Enjoyed the squirrel conversation 😂 and Skip to the lou my darling

[@PablaMMoore]

Stephanie, I believe you get tired of traveling, but honestly it is hard to keep up with you. You and your Mom have a lot of energy. It is amazing how much you can do in one day. ❤

[@sarachristman16]

It is wonderful to see how Phillip’s passions intersect with Stephanie’s, and how well he clicks with her family. May we all be so lucky in love.

[@JaneneJellie-lv7tu]

Perhaps your next costume party at laLande should have an international theme to give your uncle the opportunity to wear some lederhosen😁. Thank you for the tour of the porcelain museum. It’s fascinating to see how modern design trends seem to circle back to old styles. I loved the simplicity of the shapes and the square handles they use, just fabulous.

[@msh1265]

I love Phillips enthusiasm for porcelain. You know you’ve got it when you skip and know specifics. Appreciate the appreciation. ❤❤❤

[@michaelt8727]

What a special visit to an absolutely imperial Vienna, a city as classy and refined wherever you turn as the Viennese Waltz… but whether you’re gracefully waltzing with your beau, strolling wide-eyed at the Augarten porcelain museum or dining at the Hotel Sacher and indulging in the world famous Sacher- Torte, Stephanie’s Vienna videos make you feel like you’re being treated to a tour worthy of royalty.

[@jessicaboyajian3542]

What a wonderful trip!

[@christineh5790]

Oh I’m so sorry the Vienna videos are over ! I love seeing your Aunt and Uncle Stephanie and Philip picked out some super choices of waist coats and jackets for Stephen to choose from. This was so great for me to see these wonderful snippets of Vienna because it has always been somewhere I have hungered to see since a child and besotted with the Heidi series of books. 📚✈️⛰🍽💖

[@ankejacobs4649]

Philip’s enthusiasm is adorable!

[@elisabethhopson5639]

What an advert for Vienna! That was a real treat Stephanie and Phillip. Reminds me of the videos you did years ago on Limoges, which was a masterclass. No wonder Phillip likes to visit places like this, the quality of the porcelain is outstanding. I loved the little ladybirds on top of the fuzzy porcelain and that ice cream jar was just stunning. The history contained in places like this museum is so interesting. Sadly, it shows just how mundane our crockery is these days. I have some proper porcelain, but dare not use it, so it sits in the cupboard. I discovered Sachertorte in East Berlin in 1980. OMG I have never forgotten it, but the ones we find in the UK, or can make, just do not match the unbelievable taste of the real thing. I have never had the Imperial torte, so it is on my bucket list for sure! Thank you Stephanie for yet another classic video of beautiful objects and history.😊😊😊

[@jaynekennedy8469]

Thank you so much, I’ve loved Vienna!

[@vic8895]

As always, another beautiful video. I have loved every minute you have shared with us.

[@lynetteyoung9777]

This was such an exciting trip. You've shown us so very much. I couldn't have seen this without you. You are fully appreciated. Sending love, Lyn

[@brigidsmith980]

What a beautiful, exuberant episode!! Stephanie and Philip your delight is contagious. ❤

[@IanSmith-ki8bz]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful travels of Vienna. I went with my best friend (who passed away last year) and we visited Cafe Central, the art museum (including its beautiful cafe), had dinner at The Imperial Hotel and Sacher Torte in the same room as you did. Your video has bought back so many great memories.

[@IanSmith-ki8bz]

Ps and we did a tour of the Opera House.

[@peterwhite9261]

I think I can speak for all of us. You spoiled us a bit with this beautiful holiday to Vienna. You did so much in just a couple of days. The porcelain museum is very interesting. Phillip, I felt for you running to get that bag. It brought back memories of my travels. Glad you got it. You all will be glad to get home and hopefully get some rest. Safe travels. Your baby will be so excited to see you.

[@neilchisholm797]

A group of vlogs on your time in Vienna. It’s a city I’ve always wanted to visit and I want to even more after these videos. Your aunt and uncle were such fun travel companions. Stephanie you share with us the most interesting things and I love the snippets of history you throw in. Always fascinating. The story about spies and pronouncing squirrel was particularly interesting and it made me wonder if keeping a secret as in secret squirrel comes from this story. Thanks for taking us on this Viennese mini break. Best wishes to you all from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺

[@benedictegaspard5867]

This porcelaine factory le absolutly stunnning.

[@DanasDiary.]

The way Stephanie tells a story, so gripping❤️ and I am learning so much

[@mariejohnson2106]

Oh I just love the skip that Philip did that just made my heart go pitter-patter I just got so excited to see him so excited about to see something that's so much strong in his blood oh he just made my day God bless you all I love watching you it's been a couple years I've stumbled across you who won I'm down I make sure I watch you cuz you always put a smile on my face and the little dog what a blessing keep up the awesome videos

[@susannahwhitaker994]

Another magical vlog ! Stephanie, your aunt looked amazing in her fur hat, she is absolutely adorable. What a family 🤗

[@peterscalata]

Thank you guys it was wonderful going to Australia with you I learned so much from you Stephanie when you explain all the China or wherever you go I really enjoy the trips and I appreciate you immensely you and Philip and it's so nice that you travel with your eye and Uncle it makes me feel comfortable knowing that family is with you while your mother is in South Africa God bless and I'll see you on the next Adventure and I'll also see you at the chateau cha

[@wynncarter6783]

Wonderful, thank you so much. Stephanie you are a wonderful guide, you and Philip complement each other perfectly! x

[@denyseleonard240]

This was an incredibly informative vlog, thank you to both Philip and Stephany for the fascinating tour of the porcelain museum.

[@staceyhogg7664]

Vienna was just beautiful i mever realised just how amazing the architecture is there. This is going on the bucket list.

[@jerribinder6665]

Merci merci…. Love the trip and your brilliant knowledge of all things sublime . Never stop. 💖

[@amellenthin1]

Love, love your educational videos. Thank you for taking the time to research and make them!

[@teresadonaldson-smith3838]

I absolutely adore your lovely Prince Philip. You are both so beautiful.

[@helenstella2666]

What a fabulous visit to Vienna, thank you for showing us such amazing places Stephanie. Oh how I’d love to visit 🥰 Looks like your Aunt & Uncle enjoyed every minute, wonderful ❤️

[@jannevils1526]

Oh my gosh thank you for the lovely tour of the Vienna porcelain manufactory Augarten. There are so many interesting pieces that I was not familiar with because we live such a different lifestyle than the people in the 1800's. It's fascinating to me! I love your Aunt's pearl headband! I'm going to make myself one so I can be chic!! Love to you all from South, Louisiana!!

[@karlkrenn-grabner5355]

As a Viennese I have to admit, that "Sacher`s" Sachertorte is overhyped . The original Sachertorte had been developed at "Cafe Demel" where the young Mister Sacher took his apprenticeship long before he started his hotel. Demel still produces the original and much better version of the "Sachertorte".

[@samirataubmann]

Dear Stefanie and Philip, if you ever come to Salzburg you have to try the Sachertorte of the famous and beloved Café Bazar! It‘s more flavorful, the apricot is more present and it‘s not as dry as the one from Hotel Sacher. So glad you had an amazing time in Vienna 🤗

[@ccoeurjoli]

Oh la la !! Splendide ! Encore un vlog fabuleux et si joyeux avec Tatinette et oncle Steven 💕 quel beau voyage! Merci ! Beau et délicieux 😋 ! À bientôt ! 🌸🌸🌸

[@JustSaralius]

Would it not have been easier (and more environmentally friendly) to take the train to Vienna?

[@jefflawrentz1624]

What a great adventure! I enjoyed seeing the porcelain museum very much! Wishing you all safe travels and I hope you brought home something from the porcelain factory. Thanks for taking us along!

[@janinebarron2691]

What jumped out at me from this video was the absolute joy the four of you have together. Beautiful to watch family love

[@elroyanderson8164]

The plate you described as having corn cobs all around the edge is actually wheat

[@wandamackenzie144]

That was kind of funny, but sweet in her usual way 😉

[@ricardathomason5485]

I thought the same thing

[@elisabeth6108]

I think its a different use of the word. The word "corn" is often used in Europe, going back centuries, to describe wheat, whereas in America we use it only to describe maize.

[@wandamackenzie144]

@@elisabeth6108 interesting 👍😊

[@NewChannel-wi7vj]

At last someone with a clue! Thank you! @@elisabeth6108

[@danneeley7248]

Uplifting and informative. Your aunt and uncle are marvelous. I love their enthusiasm.

[@Tea-nOpals]

Watching Phillip get all a-twitter over the coming porcelain adventure is priceless 😊 As always KZbin's favorite aunt and uncle are adorable and Stephanie gives the best tours, though not very familiar with wheat stalks. Not to worry, perfection is overrated. Thank you for taking us along to enjoy the beautiful city of Vienna. ❤

[@NewChannel-wi7vj]

In British English at least, wheat is a type of corn. Stephanie is therefore perfectly right (who'd've guessed!). Don't be afraid of dictionaries: they're your friends. Of course, you were so persuaded of knowing better (ignorants usually are, as they're typically ignorant of their own ignorance) than an obviously very educated woman that you couldn't wait to correct her instead of checking if, maybe, you could've been the one in need of learning something.

[@NewChannel-wi7vj]

🤡🤡🤡

[@NewChannel-wi7vj]

You're not very familiar with English. Ever heard of dictionaries? Find one, open it and try to learn something before you comment.

[@johannabaumgartner]

The „Melon service“ was designed by Josef Hoffmann! It is a design classic!

[@Molly-ec8ec]

Thank you so much for this wonderful trip through Wien! I’ve been there a few times and knew some of the locations already but you showed some more I haven’t seen so far like the porcelain museum. Your special and elaborated comments are really great because you point out things which I probably wouldn’t have noticed. Hope you got back well because there had been a huge storm over Ireland and Great Britain. Have a safe trip back home!

[@marihart-qbc]

Merci! Quel beau voyage ! Nous avons le sentiment tout ce temps d'avoir été à vos côtés 😊 À demain 🌜

[@jomeyer13]

so that is why he wanted to go there. Porcelean. There is a wonderful graft being done with resin paint poured onto old glass vases or bowls. It is has a wonderful beautiful effect. It is like the oil in water print effect. You guys should try it..

[@lhmcd5538]

Augarten had me spell bound. So many incredible things. The ice cream cooler took my breath away so simple in design yet outstandingly extravagant. Thank you for taking us there. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa.👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩 Ps.I can’t wait to see your return to be greeted by your hound. 🤭

[@barbaratudor8502]

Thank you - this was a fascinating vlog about the Augarten history and a lovely series about Vienna! Always love seeing other people's impressions of the capital of my home country. All the best! xx

[@fatimademendonca6009]

I love to watch the visit to the Augarten factory. Thanks a lot. In fact my Austrian family leaves near. The boys of the Vienna Boys Choir live in the park too.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Thank you so much Stephanie and Phillip for making this video during a holiday.

[@moonchild1518]

Loved all of it, your aunt is such a dear lady. thank you.

[@DianaB-q2k]

I loved the Porcelain Museum, the designs are so beautiful and of course the quality is superb. What a great company make your aunt and your uncle, so loving and full of sense of humor. what a wonderful trip, thank you for sharing all your adventures with us! Now, even if it´s sad to leave precious Viena, it´s comforting to go back home.

[@jaclynroth1440]

Vienna is just gorgeous. Porcelain is not my thing but I’m glad you had fun. Phillip though…I beg you to trim those nails. 😮 Love that you’re a plethora of knowledge Stephanie!

[@joanies6778]

I cannot get over the use of Bordaloos during the sermon. 😱 Carrying those around must have been daunting.

[@michelerowes4340]

Wonderful trip hadn't dreamed of seeing Vienna! So thankful for your tour .always watching for a new posting.not sitting and waiting but all the same looking forward to it .

[@deebowker768]

Thank you. I have loved being on holiday with you! Your aunt and uncle are so adorable. Such lovely people. ❤

[@maryannrecht7605]

Thanks for the wonderful porcelain museum visit, it was extraordinary. I agree with your darling aunt that the Hotel Zacher torte was not extraordinary as when I had my second piece, 2011, (June) it was quite dry, disappointing. But still I enjoyed the circus of the moment, being in thia famous hotel, partaking of this world reknown cake, etc. Your vlogs are so well done and edited and enjoyed by me. Marianne, Chicago

[@rankinstudios5342]

I, thoroughly, enjoy you and Philip giving us tours and historical backgrounds of the persons, places, and objects you are featuring. Your filming and editing skills are superb! So glad you all enjoyed your vacation in Vienna together making memories. ~Terri 😊

[@MarialiceOHara-e1r]

Her trips are so educational and done so well

[@sallysampson628]

I’ve really enjoyed your Vienna trip as I do all the places you visit or just in La Lalande!! You do a fantastic and professional job explaining everything as you go and I have learned so much that without watching your vlogs I wouldn’t have. Being disabled I’m bed/housebound so thank you for taking us along with you both and your lovely Aunt and Uncle. Wishing you all a safe flight home to France! Philip is very knowledgable and I wonder did he learn from his parents and grandparents or study. For a young man it’s refreshing to hear him speak so eloquently about porcelain and many other historical facts especially as English isn’t his first language, although I’d never have guessed! Night all! 🌻🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

[@Roens25]

Stephanie! Your favorite vase with the people and umbrella looks a lot like one of your fathers paintings 😊 especially the faces and the composition 🙂
