Hochheim am Main
Every last Thursday of the month volunteer wine expert Hendrik Ruitenberg offers a unique wine tasting with a special thematic focus. From the steep slopes of the Douro to the coastal regions of the Atlantic: Portugal is one of Europe’s most exciting wine countries. The evening presents special growing regions, distinctive wines, and the country’s long-standing wine culture.
On Sunday, December 16, the Hochheim Wine Museum invites you to a fun cork craft workshop from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. As winter approaches, the cork craft workshop transforms into a little Christmas workshop. Wine corks are turned into angels, stars, animals, or ornaments for the Christmas tree. Using paints, paper, and natural materials, children can create festive decorations or small gifts. This creative craft session combines the winter spirit with the world of wine and invites participants to create, experiment, and take home their own creations. Participation is free, and you can join at any time. Craft supplies are provided. Please wear clothes that can get a little paint on them.
On this evening, guests can look forward to something special: instead of the usual wine tasting with 8-10 different wines on a specific theme, we will present them with a selection of the wines that were introduced over the course of 2026. To make the wine tasting a shared experience, each guest could bring a small accompaniment to the wine. In this way, everyone can enjoy a small buffet together with suitable snacks and delicacies to go with the wine.

On Sunday, March 22, the Hochheim Winegrowing Museum invites you to a cheerful cork workshop from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Children of preschool and primary school age can use colorful craft materials to create imaginative figures from wine and sparkling wine corks – perhaps a cork Easter bunny will even be made shortly before Easter! Participation is free of charge, and you can join at any time. Craft materials will be provided. Please wear clothing that can also handle the occasional splash of paint.
