  Wine Tasting / Hike / Cellar Tour 08/22/26

  We’ll start at Saaleck Castle and introduce you to the history of this oldest wine town. With a glass of Secco in hand, we’ll tour our wine cellar, where you’ll learn all about what we winemakers do between the wine tanks. Afterward, we’ll take a short walk through the historic vineyards, which are still completely surrounded by a vineyard wall. On Saaleck’s Schlossberg hill, we’ll taste some wine right among the vines. You’ll learn what a winemaker does between the rows of vines. Then we’ll head to the historic vineyard house “Kavaliershäuschen,” lit by candlelight. The rustic snack platters (sausage and cheese or vegetarian) taste especially good here! We’ll sample three more different wines accompanied by entertaining stories about wine. Enjoy a few lovely hours with our Hammelburg organic wines in a historic setting—lit only by candlelight—a wonderful atmosphere! Meeting point: Winery building next to Saaleck Castle—Saaleckstraße 2, 97762 Hammelburg TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLY IN ADVANCE

  Star Wine Hike August 14, 2026

  Together with Reiner Stein (star guide), we take a short walk across the field above Saaleck Castle. From here, we have an unobstructed view of the summer night sky. With a view of the Saale Valley, we learn interesting facts about the solar system and, once we reach the historic vineyard wall, we can spot the first “major” celestial bodies. We walk through the historic vineyards on the Saalecker Schlossberg to the historic vineyard house. We identify additional constellations. At the historic “Kavaliershäuschen,” we sit on small loungers on the terrace (set up by the winery in limited numbers) or on blankets we’ve brought along, and watch the shooting stars of St. Lawrence with a glass of wine in hand. TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLY IN ADVANCE Experience only on August 14, 2026
