About this experience

If you have an appetite to consciously experience whiskey and learn more about its origin and special features, these tastings in Köpenick are the right place for you. The tastings are aimed at anyone who wants to get to know and enjoy the traditional “water of life” better.

Tanja Bempreiksz will accompany you through the evenings. She has many years of experience in gastronomy and specialist journalism and worked as a brand ambassador in the international spirits industry for over 14 years. On her trips to more than 35 distilleries worldwide, the Rahnsdorf resident has gathered extensive expertise and valuable insights. She has been sharing this know-how in tastings, seminars, training courses and events for over 15 years.

During the tastings, you will gain insights into the variety of whiskey variants, learn about the historical background of the distilleries and the production of whiskey, and find out which factors influence the different aromas and flavors.

In keeping with the theme, you don't just encounter history in the glass: Köpenick Castle is just a short walk away - almost as steeped in tradition as the history of whiskey itself.

Look forward to relaxed, inspiring evenings in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere and historic neighborhood.
