TOURS 2016
The husband and wife team Annette and Christian Schiller will personally guide the tours throughout the trip. Through our friendships with winemakers and owners of estates, all tours will become a very personal experience for everyone in our small group.
BURGUNDY / CHAMPAGNE (May 26 - June 05)
This 11 day tour takes as from Lyon, world capital of exquisite food, to Reims, world capital of premium sparkling wines. The focus lies on Burgundy, which is the historically highly respected wine region that produced wines for the Emperors of France (we will take a walk through the ancient wine cellars once belonging to the Kings of France) and other Imperial Courts in Europe and beyond. We will visit top wine estates in all distinct sub regions starting with the Beaujolais, moving up to the Mâconnais, Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Chablis, and crossing into the Champagne region. We will explore the concept of “climat”, similar to the “terroir” concept in Germany, and will see first hand what it entails to produce a top notch Champagne. And of course we will enjoy fabulous French cuisine.

BORDEAUX (Sept 06 - Sept 15)
Spend 10 days in Bordeaux! ”Bordeaux” embodies more than just wine. In France the interplay of wine and food is very important and almost every day we will have a wine pairing meal at a famous Château. Drawing on our love and deep knowledge of the region as well as our personal ties to many of the players in the Bordeaux wine scene, we will visit many of the hidden gems -such as visiting a cooperage, an oyster farm, some small, top “petit Châteaux” - that other tours pass by, but which are essential to feel what Bordeaux is all about. In a nutshell: this is a hands-on Bordeaux wine class on the ground.

GERMANY EAST (May 12 - May 20)
This 9 day tour allows wine lovers and aficionados of the arts to experience what the statement “wine is a form of art” entails. Wine, music, dance, visual arts, kaleidoscope of European and German history. We experience all this in Germany’s beautiful wine regions in the East, which is also the cradle of German intellect and culture. We will visit 19 wineries, among them wineries that embody the wine and art approach, and attend 4 performances at world-renowned theater houses.

GERMANY NORTH (May 05 - May 11)
This 7 day tour lets us explore the regions that are quintessential to understand “Riesling”, and the concept of “terroir”. We will visit many picturesque wine towns and will do a cruise on the romantic Rhine River with its castle- and vine-ribboned bank; the Mosel valley with its dizzying steep vineyards; delving into 2000 years of history and tasting premium wines at world-class wine estates.

This 7 day tour takes us to the southernmost German wine regions and we will experience the German red wine revolution - gorgeous Pinot-Noirs. We will visit Germany’s unconventional, but exceptionally gifted winemakers as well as top estates in Alsace to compare the very different approaches of winemaking philosophies. We will dine at Michelin starred restaurants reflecting southern Germany's affinity with Haute Cuisine, and proximity to culinary Alsace in France across the Rhine river.
