How does a wine with character come about? During a walk through the museum and the variety garden, you'll learn more about the winemaker's work and the importance of wine at Zürichsee.
Following the tour, we will continue the story of viticulture at Zürichsee together with a tasting based on the wines chosen. You decide how many wines your group wants to taste.
We usually start with our rare, our historic Räuschling. Discover how the wine at Zürichsee tasted 100 years ago — you will not forget this sensuous, acidity-rich experience. Today's Zürichsee wines that follow will again satisfy and delight your palate.
Tastings – Aperitif
During a guided wine tasting or an aperitif, we will continue the history of viticulture at Zürichsee based on the wines selected after the tour.
You decide how wide your tasting journey around Zürichsee should be. Perhaps you focus on one wine (Aperitif), or compare two to three wines (small tasting), or four to six wines (large tasting). The large tasting includes a slice of bread per person in the price.
Wine
You can choose from 36 different wines from 18 winemakers around Zürichsee. You select the wines on site and our guides will be happy to advise you. Maybe you'd like to undertake a wine journey through three centuries — starting with a Räuschling, the indigenous Zürichsee grape variety, followed by a 20th-century wine, such as Müller-Thurgau, and ending with a disease-resistant grape variety, bringing you again into the 21st century.
Cheese Aperitif Boards
We source our cheese aperitif boards from «Preisig Käses & Wein» in Richterswil. The lovingly assembled plates featuring various spicy cheese specialties, all clearly labeled, garnished with meats, olives, and fruits, are well known well beyond Richterswil. Upon request, the plates can also be without meat, and fresh bread is always included.
Vegetarians can opt for the vegetable dip plate with the Preisig house sauce or with hummus as a vegan option.
A visit to the Au Peninsula is an experience for all the senses.
