In the page's words:

^{Cultivating Taste}

is a curated platform for the culture of enjoyment from Berlin - founded by Max Ventker, a state-certified winemaker and graduate of Hochschule Geisenheim University, the most renowned wine university in the world.

The approach is simple: no wine fair, no tasting marathon, no ideological natural wine framing.

Instead: Producers who work by hand and have something to say.

Wines that taste good. People who want to enjoy.
Friday evening is the more intimate of the two days - around 45 guests, an evening atmosphere, conversations that arise when the space is right.

The Uferstudios in Wedding are currently being converted into a new restaurant space. Before the first official opening, there is this one evening - raw, unfinished, lively.

On the table: flagship Franciacorta, Pét Nat, curated still white wines, an orange wine and a light red. Accompanied by little things to nibble on - bread, cheese, sardines, olives / hosted by DinnerSquats

The glasses come from Stölzle Lausitz, one of Europe's most renowned glass manufacturers.

Cultivating Taste is the beginning of a series.

Further editions will follow in 2026 - including with producers from far-flung corners of Europe that are not yet known in Berlin.

The Gathering, a dedicated trade fair, will follow on October 2027. If you're there this Friday evening, you've been there from the start.

No entrance fee. Wines à la carte. Just drop by.
