Relaxed, direct and enjoyable - with exciting conversations, surprising wines and genuine exchange in the middle of the vaulted cellar.

👉 Special guest: Markus Molitor

Riesling. Moselle. World class.

Markus Molitor is one of Germany's most influential winemakers and is regarded internationally as a Riesling ambassador. At Taste & Talk, he will be there in person, pouring his wines and telling the story behind them.

Since taking over the winery in the 8th generation, Molitor has led the Moselle back to the top of the world with extremely site-typical, long-lasting Rieslings - uncompromising, precise, legendary.

The Cologne wine cellar - more than just wine. An experience.

At 2,500 square meters, the Cologne Wine Cellar is one of the largest historic wine vaults in Germany. Via 51 steps or an elevator, you can descend 13 meters to almost 4,000 wines from around 800 wineries worldwide. Awarded "Wine Merchant of the Year 2025", our sommeliers make the difference: they advise, tell stories and accompany you at tastings, stand-up tastings or winemaker evenings. This is where expertise meets enjoyment - wine becomes an experience.
