Kupferberg Sektkellerei (sparkling wine cellars)
Kupferberg Sektkellerei (sparkling wine cellars) Review
These hillside cellars were built in 1850 on a site where the Romans had cultivated vines and cellared wine. The Kupferberg family expanded, creating 60 seven-story-deep vaulted cellars—the deepest in the world. The winery has a splendid collection of glassware; posters from the belle epoque period (1898-1914); richly carved casks from the 18th and 19th centuries; and the Traubensaal (Grape Hall), a tremendous example of the art nouveau style. Tours lasting from 1½ to 2 hours are offered most Saturdays in summer, and include several glasses of sparkling wines and champagne. Reservations are required.
