Riesling Weeks Hong Kong celebrates its 10th edition
White asparagus  | Riesling | Pinot Trio | Vinothek Berlin

Launched in 2013 and organised by Wines of Germany, Riesling Weeks Hong Kong has become a campaign much anticipated by wine lovers. 

Like previous years, Riesling Weeks participating restaurants will be offering seasonal White Asparagus x German wine pairing menus. Sample this German delicacy at Brasserie on the EighthGolden Leaf, Heimat by Peter Find and Sunset Grill

Riesling maybe the signature wine of Germany but the country is also famous for its Pinot Trio. It is the world’s third largest producer of Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) after France and the US, second largest producer of Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder) after Italy and number one producer of Pinot Blanc (Weissburgunder). Both Cuisine and Cuisine and Whey will be offering Pinot Trio menus, while Yui Keehttps://www.rieslingweeks.hk/directories/yui-kee-company/ online shop will feature a Pinot Trio hamper. 

Other highlights include Riesling Class at The Aubrey every Saturday in June, 90 minutes German wine buffet at Mirage Bar & Restaurant and Auktion Riesling Tasting at The Fine Wine Experience K11 Musea shop. Please scroll down to the bottom or click here for the full participant list. 

Vinothek Berlin, the first German wine experience pop-up store, debuted at Fashion Walk last year with great fanfare. As part of Riesling Weeks Hong Kong, Vinothek Berlin will be returning in June with more exciting German wine, delicacies, seasonal produce and culture experience between 3rd and 26th June. We will be running a series of workshops including White Asparagus x German wine, classic German food x wine pairing and in-depth guided tastings. We are also thrilled that Weingut Peter Lauer from Mosel will be launching two wines, Grand Reserve Sekt Brut Nature 1984 and Grand Reserve Brut 2002 at the pop-up store. His sekt were among the bestsellers at the pop-up store last year.   

We will also run a B2B tasting at Vinothek Berlin. Wine from seven wineries who are looking for importers in Hong Kong will be available for tasting by appointment.
