Masterclass: Paul Blume

Sustainable, high-end viticulture happens when winemakers understand the unique conditions of their region and respond with creative solutions. Heat, drought, diseases, and extreme weather don't call for a single one-size-fits-all solution, but for tailored, site-specific action. This masterclass highlights how humus building, biodiversity, dry farming, agroforestry systems, and other regenerative approaches build resilient vineyards - and why they form the bedrock for wines with true character. The tasting that follows brings this journey from vineyard to glass vividly to life.

Experience in gastronomy is an advantage.
