Fancy trying some Riesling? Then this is the tasting for you! On 21 November, we’re hosting a delightful wine tasting on board the M/S Eckerö, where we’ll discover Riesling from the historic Schloss Johannisberg together.

This tasting is just as suitable for those who already enjoy Riesling as it is for those who are simply curious and want to discover something new. Together, we’ll taste different wines, get to know their flavours and learn more about what makes Riesling such a much-loved grape variety.

It’ll be a relaxed and enjoyable experience on board – with fine wine, new discoveries and perhaps a new favourite in your glass. No prior knowledge required, just a bit of curiosity! Limited availability. The tasting will be held in Swedish.

Date and time: 21 November at 10.15 and 15.15 (Swedish time). Book together with your boat trip.
