About this experience

Invite your senses on a journey between two seas – where the fresh breeze of the Black Sea meets the warm breath of the Mediterranean.

During this tasting experience, we will explore the different expressions of these two maritime influences. In the northeast, the Black Sea imparts elegance, freshness, and minerality, complemented by a subtle saline note on the palate. In the southwest, the Mediterranean influence brings a sense of richness, sunshine, and warmth.

You will taste three terroir-driven wines alongside one special masterpiece – a blend born from the meeting of these two distinct terroirs.

Each wine is paired with carefully crafted bites, inspired by the culinary creativity of Chef Stefan Göcke.

Immerse yourself in the story of the land, the sea, and the magic of wine.
