Season Wine Tasting

In the organizer's words:

Gone are the days when you could taste sugary wines in a stuffy atmosphere and, with a bit of luck, get a dry slice of bread with herb butter.

The good old wine tasting experiences a new quality through the skillful combination with food. We focus our full attention on the terroir around Cologne. The foothills, the Eifel or the Bergisches Land may not offer luxury products with a worldwide reputation, but they do offer a surprising abundance of delicious fruit and tasty vegetables, and all from the immediate vicinity. For this series of events, we are being supplied by the Bauernrunde.

Every month, we take a look at what's in season in the fields, rivers and lakes or in the barn and come up with a very regional pairing. Which wine to pair with bush beans? Red wine or Pinot Gris again with trout?

We start at 6 p.m. each evening. Four different dishes will be served, each accompanied by two different wines. The choice of wine is explained for each course and basic information about wine is provided. But even when the moderated tasting is over after four hours, the glasses are still drunk empty.
