On December 13, 2025, the day finally arrived.

As this was a special Christmas celebration for the 25th anniversary, a

Anyone who thinks that winemaking consists only of grape harvesting and eating and drinking (even if one might sometimes think so here) is sorely mistaken! New stakes were driven in November.

This year, unfortunately, we had to break with the long tradition of holding the celebration with a previous general meeting in Harxheim at Christine Bernhard’s house; unfortunately the property is no longer available to us. The presidents have found a wonderful new location for this, the farmer’s café Zum Fruchtspeicher in Sippersfeld. The journey was

There were two premieres at the August work assignment this year! On the one hand, the excellently prepared Wingert feast, as always, was eaten directly in front of the kitchen stove under the beautiful, shady chestnut tree, and on the other hand, our “cook” Kirsten held a first cooking course for members! As always, the
