The river gently meanders through the landscape and makes its way through sun-drenched valleys. On the steep slopes, the grapes gleam on their well-tended vines…

Our enchanting sommelière Eva Adler from Korn takes you on our virtual wine tour to various top-quality German wineries, which are united by a single grape: the Riesling.
The best Rieslings are produced in wine-growing areas with a cooler climate. Germany has no reason to be bashful in a global comparison – quite the contrary! With a Riesling cultivation area of almost 24,000 hectares, we are by far number one in the world here.
But the Riesling grape is not only one of the most popular in an international comparisons, this grape variety is much-loved in Germany and all major benchmark Rieslings come from here.

On our wine tour through the world of Riesling, you will experience top wines from five of Germany’s most influential wineries, all from the comfort of your seat. We start in the more than 700-year-old VDP Prädikatsweingut Bürgerspital in beautiful Bavaria. Around the Franconian town of Würzburg there are excellent conditions for viticulture and the Weingut Bürgerspital produces top wines for connoisseurs.

The winery of Nick Köwerich, the Weingut Köwerich, is located in the vineyards along the Moselle between Trier and Bernkastl. The Köwerich family has been mentioned in the church records of the wine-growing village of Leiwen since 1548. True to the motto “Tradition belongs IN the bottle and not ON the bottle”, their products all have extraordinary names and are a treat for every wine lover.

Back in Franconia, we pay a visit to the Weingut Castell winery. The vineyards of the Princely House of Castell-Castell date back to 1224, making the Domäne Castell one of the oldest wineries in Germany. From the vineyards in the eastern part of the Franconian wine-growing region, on the slopes of the Steigerwald, come not only famous Silvaners but also a great Riesling that will delight your palate.

For the last two representatives of Riesling in Germany, we head west again – to the Rheingau. One of the most important wine-growing regions is home to numerous historical wineries, including that of Dr Robert Weil. The winery can look back proudly on the fact that one of its wines was on the wine list during the maiden voyage of the airship “Graf Zeppelin” to New York: the 1920 Kiedrich Grafenberg Trockenbeerenauslese. But don’t worry – during our wine tour in the OLYMP Munich you will have a much younger and very fine Riesling from the Weil winery in your glass.

The second stop in the southern Rheingau between Nierstein and Oppenheim is the Weingut Louis Guntrum. This well-known establishment also has a long tradition of viticulture. Today it is run by Mr Louis Konstantin Guntrum, the 11th generation of the proud family, and its wines are sold in over 60 countries around the world.

At all stages of our “journey”, you will of course also be accompanied by culinary excellence. The kitchen team at the OLYMP Restaurant in Eching, led by Christian Wiese and Constantin Anghel, has put together a perfect pairing for every wine on the tour, ensuring the very best of gastronomic experiences.

Finally, we stop by the Weingut Köwerich one more time before the evening ends in a relaxed ambience with many new impressions, good conversations and some expert knowledge.
