Wine Tasting: Bordeaux vs. the Rest of the World

Bordeaux vs. the Rest of the World
Saturday, December 12, 2026 · starting at 3:00 p.m.

For centuries, Bordeaux has been considered the benchmark for great red wines. But how does it measure up against the major challengers from Italy, Spain, California, and Australia? This evening, we’ll compare the classic Grand Cru Classés with the rest of the world—same grape varieties, different styles.

WSET-certified wine expert Hans Babits guides you through a blind tasting of the wines. Only after the glasses are uncovered will you discover which wine came from Pauillac, Bolgheri, the Napa Valley, or Ribera del Duero. A tasting that challenges preconceptions.

The exact wine selection and price will be added here in due course.

Included in the price:

• Overnight stay at the Hotel Säntis
• All wines and non-alcoholic beverages
• Homemade soups for a quick snack
• 2-Course Menu from our kitchen
• Cheese selection to finish
