In summer, autumn and winter there is a special guest winemaker opening evening. A standardised menu is served and there is the opportunity to get to know the guest winemaker personally. Further information on the menu will be communicated on an ongoing basis.

Reserve the following dates for a guest winemaker opening evening:

Wednesday, 12 November 2025 with guest winemaker Bechtel

It all starts in the vineyard, where Laurent and his team tend their vines with the utmost respect for the environment, producing high-quality grapes year after year. In the cellar, the wines are matured in their natural state with minimal intervention, while their guests are welcomed in a warm atmosphere.

The Simonet family has been cultivating vines for over 200 years, and today they are fully committed to biodynamic cultivation on 12 hectares. This sustainable philosophy produces a balanced, natural and pure wine - an indispensable companion in gastronomy.

The Hermann family's wine tradition dates back to the early 20th century, when great-grandfather Leonhard was already making wine alongside farming. Today, Roman Hermann cultivates 6 hectares on the Fläscher Halde, including the historic terraces in Fläscher Bad, which his grandfather Hanspeter planted in 1971.

Vines have been cultivated in Eglisau for over 1,000 years, and the sunny slopes of the Grand Cru site characterise the townscape. Since 2008, I have been pressing high-quality wines here with a great deal of manual labour and respect for nature in order to preserve the natural flavour and give the Grand Cru Eglisau the reputation that this top location deserves.
