We are excited to announce our first wine tasting event of the year on Thursday 27th of February at Mitton Hall. We’ll be showcasing the wines from Salzl Seewinkelhof, a winery located in Illmitz, surrounded by stunning fields and lakes of the Neusiedler See in the eastern state of Burgenland in Austria.

Christophe and Gunter will present a fabulous range of family made wines including Gruner Veltliner, Blaufrankish and Zweigelt at Mitton Hall from 7pm. Tickets are priced at just £35 per person. 

We are very lucky to have Christophe and Gunter joining us to hold a tutored tasting of these fabulous wines, all of which are going to be brand new arrivals to the shop, which means you get to taste them before they appear on our shelves! Come and join us to experience these treasures from Austria.

For the Salzl  family a  good  glass  of  wine  is a glass that reflects  the warmth, the joie de vivre, and the uniqueness of the Seewinkel Area. Illmitz is not only the home town of the Salzls, their vines also grow here in between the national park Neusiedlersee-Seewinkel – a world heritage region. It is an obligation for Christoph Salzl, a mission and an honor at the same time, not only to live in this region, but to wholeheartedly appreciate and protect this privilege. Three generations of Salzls work with a lot of experience, heart and soul to vinify great wines with passion.

This is a perfect wine tasting for those of you who want to broaden your palates and widen your horizons. Try a range of wines from Austria that are unusual grapes, different styles, but at the end of the day, amazing wines.
