SOME OF OUR MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® EXPERIENCES

 

Wachau Saffron Manufactory

Wachau Saffron Manufactory

Educate your taste buds with flavorful delicacies as you taste red-wine-and-saffron chocolate and saffron-seasoned jams, vinegars and honey at Wachauer Safranmanufaktur. Bernard Kaar, who’s spent years researching the history of saffron and still more years cultivating the world’s only bio-dynamically certified saffron, is one of the Wachau’s most important producers. Meet Bernard and his wife, Alexandra, for a fascinating introduction to saffron—the plant, the spice and the cultural traditions.

Experience it on our Enchanting Danube itinerary.

Wine Vinegar Estate, Doktorenhof

Wine Vinegar Estate, Doktorenhof

Visit the Weinessiggut Doktorenhof estate for a special vinegar tasting. Founded by Georg Wiedemann some 30 years ago, Doktorenhof produces vinegars from premium wines following old traditions that have been passed on from generation to generation. Almost 100 percent of the work is done by hand, from the natural cultivation of ripe, dense base wines to the careful expansion of the vinegars in the vinegar room, to filling, corking, binding, waxing and careful packaging in hand-blown bottles and flacons.

Experience it on our Castles along the Rhine itinerary.
