A very special guest is joining us

We have some very special news for you this week: Mike Ratcliffe, owner of the cult winery Vilafonté, is coming to Wädenswil in person and will present his acclaimed Series C & Series M, including mature vintages such as 2014. Rare, highly rated wines you'll seldom find in the glass.

The presentation takes place twice, each lasting 60 minutes:

• Friday, 6:00–7:00 pm with Mike Ratcliffe
• Saturday, 4:00–5:00 pm with Jared Uys

As seats are limited, a separate ticket is required to attend.

These wines await you in the tasting
