3rd Winemakers’ Gala with Big Bottle Party and Winemakers’ Dinner on 7th December

The Winemakers’ Gala is set to take place for the 3rd time on 7th December. As the first highlight at the start of the new season, the evening has become an integral part of our winter calendar of events. Together with five top winemakers amid a cosy, laid-back living-room ambience we’ll enjoy a convivial evening and savour some truly superb wines. All five experts will have their personal favourites with them in magnums, hence the name of the prelude to the gala – the ‘Big Bottle Party’ – held in the hotel foyer and at the Blue Bar. This year, once again, you can look forward to finest wines from Austria and around the world.

These are the delectable treats available for tasting at this year’s Big Bottle Party:
