Everything Happens for a Riesling: Your Guide to German Wine Tasting This July
Discover Why German Wines Deserve the Spotlight
Everything happens for a Riesling—and this July, it’s Germany’s time to shine. From 1 July, we’re kicking off 31 days of German wine, with tastings, stories, and bottles that prove why Germany is one of the world’s greatest wine countries.
Strangely, German wines are still overlooked by many. But if you’ve ever searched for a wine tasting near me and skipped past a German label, this is your chance to discover what you’ve been missing.
