A lunch for 225 euros: That’s quite a word. And yet the Pinot Noir lunch is always the first to sell out during the “Rheingau Gourmet & Wine Festival”. Of course, again on March 1st, when the legendary event with the best German Pinot noir producers from Allendorf to Ziereisen and a coordinated menu by chef Roland Gorgosilich will next make Pinot Noir fans rave. There is actually a waiting list – but if you don’t have tickets for the big Pinot party yet, you shouldn’t get your hopes up too high.
Fortunately, the turnout of guests is not as enormous at all events at the festival, which this time takes place from February 22nd to March 10th at the Hotel Krönenschlösschen in Hattenheim, as at the Pinot Noir Lunch. Some of the 60 other gala dinners, lunches, wine tastings, workshops and parties that festival organizer and Kronenschlösschen owner Hans Burkhard Ullrich and his daughter Johanna have in their program with chefs and winemakers from all over the world are already sold out but many still have places available. This also applies to one of the most expensive rarity tastings of the festival: the dinner with 26 vintages of the Bordeaux icon Cheval Blanc, for which guests have to fork out 1,850 euros each.

Tickets are also available for guest appearances by the Belgian two-star chef Ralf Berendsen (February 25th) and the Hamburg chef Thomas Imbusch, who also has two Michelin stars (February 26th), or for the evening with the Moroccan star -Chef Najat Kaanache (February 29th) and the rare lunches with wines from the top Californian winery Opus One (March 9th).

Significantly less expensive, but just as entertaining, enjoyable and enlightening, are the various wine tastings that traditionally take place in the nearby Georg Müller Stiftung winery. Overall, the prices for the events this time range between 38 and 2250 euros per ticket. The entire festival program and tickets are available on the website.
