Wine tasting and dinner trip to Liederbach

This is out regular (fun-!) visit of a wine distributor in Liederbach, who offers a weekend of tasting of white&red wines (plus some distilled stuff) from many wineries of Germany‘s warmest state Baden-Württemberg, and you can buy them at the same price as directly from the producer, most ~6-9€/bottle right at the venue.

BRING CASH! As a minimum, you need 2€ in cash as deposit for the tasting glass you’ll get at the entrance to the festival. But we’ll also have a dinner break (not compulsory to join). The food that the distributor offers is usually Flammkuchen, sausages, pretzels and coffee/cakes at affordable prices. But here again likely only cash is accepted. Wines at the store can be paid with debit/credit card.

The event is free of charge - also the snacks and water that stalls provide on top of the wine - but the organiser issues tickets for the event. The ticket check at the entrance is very relaxed. However, I would appreciate if some of you could order a free ticket (which is for 2 persons, bring a friend else we share) at www.weinhaus-werner.de using the contact form you find on the bottom of the page Aktuelles, put „Tickets für Herbstverkostung bitte“ as Nachricht and provide your address and phone number (they will never call you, promise, just send you leaflets for a while you can unsubscribe any time) or send a quick e-mail to [email protected]. Tickets take a while to arrive, so please do it on Monday in the week of the event at latest. If you could please also drop a line in the event page so I get an idea how many tickets we have. I will not limit participation according to the number of tickets, so you can also join without having ordered a ticket.

Depending on your constraints to finish work, you can join the early („Genießer“) or a later („Auslese“) group. The latter one will be a bit more than 2 hours at the tasting, but past experience has shown that this is tight for trying at least 1 wine from most of the stalls, meet the group and have dinner before the closure of the event at 9pm, especially as trains may be delayed.

The early group meets 17:40 at platform 21 to take RB12 departing at 17:47, the later one 18:10 to depart 18:17. The distributor is a 3 Minute walk from the Liederbach Süd stop, which is still in the Frankfurt RMV zone 50. You’ll see the venue to the right when the train approaches the station.

Those who don’t have a Deutschlandticket can share a group day ticket for up to 5 persons. You can also join us at the distributor, we‘ll be at the entrance around 18:05-10 for the early and 18:35-40 for the late group. You can also enter anytime later or earlier and find us inside (the only mixed nationality group). There will be updates on location and time of dinner break (usually around 19:45).

If you buy some bottles of wine, please be at the sales office around 20:50 placing the order that needs to be compiled in the warehouse which takes a few mins.

We return our glasses and meet at the exit at 21:10 to take the RB12 at 21:18 (there can also be an early group half hour earlier) back to Frankfurt, arriving 21:35. you can leave also earlier, every half hour, but participants rarely ever do.

The organiser does not take any responsibility for damage incurred from overconsumption of wine, but full responsibility for expected giggles on the return trip.
