A wine and sparkling wine tasting bar attached to the Rotkäppchen Sektkellerei, Germany's largest sparkling wine producer, offering light fare alongside a full range of Rotkäppchen products.
Vinothek Rotkäppchen sits at the entrance to the Rotkäppchen Sektkellerei in Freyburg, Germany's largest sparkling wine producer and a company tracing its roots to 1856. The tasting bar offers visitors a chance to sample a range of Rotkäppchen sparkling wines alongside light snacks such as cheese and cracker plates, either as a standalone stop or paired with the cellar's 45-minute guided tour, which runs several times daily and covers the historic underground cellars and modern production facilities. The tasting bar is a natural complement to a broader Saale-Unstrut wine-region visit, sitting alongside the area's still-wine producers and vineyard restaurants.
