After the success of our first ever German wine tasting course in winter 2012, the Goethe-Institut London will be offering four new courses to discover the world of German viticulture. The courses will be open to anybody who is interested in German wines and would like to learn more about it. All courses will be held in English, so knowledge of the German language will not be required but could be of advantage.
Think Germany, think Riesling? No – think again! Germany grows many more varities than just Riesling. Have you tasted full-bodied Grauburgunder, sleek Weissburgunder, filigree Silvaner, aromatic Scheurebe and heady Muskateller? And have you ever had a German Pinot Noir, tasted a Trollinger or a Lemberger? We'll take a look at some of these varities, their regions, their styles and their background and show you a different side of Germany.
