Wine tasting: Chardonnay
Wine tasting with a focus on style, climate and production methods
Experience an exclusive tasting of champagne and sparkling wines from around the world. Learn about their unique characteristics and production methods in a cozy atmosphere. Date: August 29, 2026
Chardonnay is the most widely planted grape in the world. It is a grape that is great at adapting to both cool and warm growing climates.
It’s hard to say you don’t like Chardonnay, as the style can be anything from mineral, austere, light wines with high acidity to full-bodied, almost vulgar, heavy wines with high alcohol and low acidity.
We’ll take you on a journey of taste where we’ll go through different production methods and their impact on the taste of the wine. There will be wines that are fresh and crisp, as well as wines with great mouthfeel and plenty of influence from barrel aging.
Look forward to a cozy and relaxed evening and not least a fantastic taste experience while enjoying the view of the picturesque nature. Nothing beats a summer evening with a glass in your hand, soaking up the sun while sailing on the beautiful river.
The atmosphere is relaxed and there is plenty of room for both chatting and socializing on board.
