An unsuspecting couple of tourists arrived thirsty at the Swiss House early in the morning.
Our hut manager that day, Benedikt, was still wiping the tables, but greeted them friendly and immediately asked what they would like to drink.
“An apple spritzer,” was the unsuspecting answer.
Benedict froze in mid-movement and looked at the tourists in horror.
They immediately realized that they had made a mistake, but since they had been to the Palatinate several times before, they knew after a brief hesitation how to make up for their mistake: "Oh, a grape juice spritzer, please!"
Benedikt breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and immediately brought two large glasses of sparkling grape juice spritzer outside. (This actually happened, by the way.) ...
The grape harvest began on September 4th! We are now out in the vineyards every day with our harvest team and the machine to bring our precious grapes safely and soundly to the winery. But how does the juice actually come out of the grapes?
“Totally simple,” thinks the layman.
"Jump with both feet into a tub full of grapes and stomp away."
Right. That's how it used to be...
We would like to invite you to celebrate with us! The Weyher Wine Festival will take place from September 6th to 9th, 2024. The whole village will be on its feet and there will be musical and culinary offerings in every courtyard! It feels like the whole world is meeting in Weyher. OK, maybe that's a bit subjective. But there are actually several thousand people who all come to our idyllic village to enjoy and celebrate and spread a party mood.
Our main season also begins NOW ! From September 9th, we will be open every day (except Tuesdays). Let the Canadian-Palatinate delicacies from Kristine's Lamesa melt in your mouth while you enjoy a wonderful glass of wine, the panoramic view in our garden and the fruity autumn air.
Some statistics say that moving is the second most stressful thing you can do in your life. (The most stressful is a divorce, but that's not our topic today.) In fact, there are very few people who like moving. No wonder, since everything is being shaken to its foundations and rearranged.
Wine is no different: the more often it moves from barrel A to barrel B, the worse its mood becomes. Because it too is torn from its beauty sleep, shaken up, forced through narrow tubes and has to get used to its new surroundings.
Well, says the clever winemaker, we'll just let the wine slumber wonderfully in the cellar and not disturb it. But it's not quite that simple (that was obvious)...
