About us
Immerse yourself in the wine culture of the Zurich Lake region.
How does a wine with character come into being? On a walk through the museum and the variety garden, you will learn more about the work of the vintner and the significance of wine at Zurich Lake.
During a subsequent tasting, we continue the story of wine-growing at Zurich Lake together based on the wines you have chosen. You decide how many wines your group would like to taste.
We usually begin with our rarity, our historic Räuschling. Experience how wine tasted at Zurich Lake 100 years ago - you will not forget this sensually sour experience. The present-day Zurich Lake wines that follow will soothe and delight your palate again.
Tastings - Aperitif
During a guided wine tasting or aperitif, we continue the story of wine-growing at Zurich Lake based on the wines you have chosen.
You decide how far your tasting journey around Zurich Lake should go. Perhaps you will concentrate on one wine (aperitif) or you will compare two to three wines (small tasting) or four to six wines (large tasting) with one another. With the large tasting, a portion of bread per person is included in the price.
Wine
You have a choice of 36 different wines from 18 vintners around Zurich Lake. You select the wine on site and our guides will be happy to advise you. Perhaps you would like to take a wine journey through three centuries - starting with a Räuschling, the autochthonous Zurich Lake grape variety, followed by a wine from the 20th century, such as a Müller-Thurgau, to finally arrive in the 21st century again with a fungus-resistant grape variety.
Cheese Aperitif Platters
We source our aperitif cheese platters from 'Preisig Käse & Wein' in Richterswil. The lovingly compiled platters with various, savoury cheese specialities, all neatly labelled, garnished with meat, olives and fruits are justly well known far beyond Richterswil. On request, the platters are also available without meat and always include fresh bread.
For vegetarians, there is the vegetable dip platter with Preisig house sauce or with hummus as a vegan option.
A visit to the Au peninsula is an experience for all the senses.

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von ca. 15-20 Personen dort. Wir hatten eine super interessante Führung durch einen erfahrenen Führer. Konnte viel von der Geschichte des Weinanbaus und der reell erlebten örtlichen Geschichte erzählen. Die danach durchgeführete Degustation war ebenfalls super. Kein dummes Pseudoweingeschwafel sondern schlicht und interessant. Die "Häpchen" danach (Käse, Wurst,...) waren sehr reichhaltig. Von dort gingen wir noch in ein Restaurant. Leider waren alle schon satt.

Spannende Gruppenführung an einem sonnigen September-Mittwochmorgen. Nach einem gemütlichen Start mit Kaffee und Gipfeli. Die Entwicklung des Rebbaus und um den Zürichsee wurde lebhaft erzählt. Hinter dem Museum konnten wir einen Einblick in den Sortengarten erhalten, mit 250 Rebsorten, saisonalbedingt waren die verschiedenen Beerengeschmäcker der Sorten sogar im Gaumen erlebbar...

Äusserst interessante, abwechslungsreiche und kurzweilige Führung, vieles aus der Geschichte des Weins gelernt! Auch die Degustation war spannend und mit guten Tropfen unterlegt.

Museum nur Sonntags geöffnet, wenn nicht mit Gruppe und Vorbestellung. Ging uns mehr um das Panorama an diesem Prachtstag im März.
