The AUSGEZEICHNET vinotheque of the month

Hemmes Winery

Our July wine tasting venue is the Vinothek and Wine School at Hemmes Winery in Bingen-Kempten. Wine school? You read that correctly. You can learn what it's all about from winemaker Frank Hemmes during a unique wine tasting in the former village school. As the schoolmaster, he doesn't give grades but instead makes fascinating connections to wine in subjects like biology, geology, and local history. This wine tasting is learning with enjoyment and pleasure; there are no exams and no grades!
