Winemakers Dinner Riesling & Bordeaux

Following the Icons of Time tasting, the focus shifts from analysis to pure enjoyment. A specially created five-course menu from the Krone kitchen is paired with outstanding Rieslings and Bordeaux served from Magnum and Double Magnum bottles.

The wines have been selected not for their rarity, but because they are drinking beautifully today—offering exceptional balance, depth and pure drinking pleasure. Large-format bottles add further elegance to the wines, making this dinner a truly special experience.
