DESIRE ON RIESLING
a public tour from April to October | Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays/public holidays
To understand a winery and its wines, it is worth taking a look at its history and wine cellar. That is exactly what we want to offer you on this tour, and we hope to whet your appetite for Riesling. Afterwards, you will taste three of our wines and you will see – your appreciation for a wine increases when you know its roots!
Every Sunday at 4:00 pm in English language

“To the Rhine’s stretched hills, Highly blessed widths,
Meadows that reflect the river, Wine-adorned lands may you reach,
with wings of thought, accompany your faithful friend.”
