Join VinusClub for an intimate, one-night-only Riesling dinner featuring two of Germany’s most exciting winemakers — Nicola Libelli of the legendary Dr. Bürklin-Wolf and Tobias Knewitz, the rising star behind Weingut Knewitz.

This will be a deeply interactive and immersive evening, with only 18 total seats (14 ticketed) to ensure meaningful conversation, generous pours, and a once-in-a-lifetime lineup of wines — 11 bottles across 6 courses, including magnums and a 30+ year-old dessert wine.

🍷 About the Winemakers

Nicola Libelli – Chief winemaker at Dr. Bürklin-Wolf, one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in Germany, located in the heart of Pfalz. Bürklin-Wolf pioneered the use of the Burgundy-style Grand Cru vineyard classification system in Germany and is globally recognized as a benchmark for dry Riesling. Nicola is Italian by birth, witty, warm, and a passionate lover of Champagne and white Burgundy—making him a uniquely charismatic ambassador for Germany’s finest terroirs.

Tobias Knewitz – Owner and winemaker at Weingut Knewitz, a young estate from Rheinhessen that has quickly risen to acclaim for its sleek, precise Rieslings and world-class Chardonnay. Tobias is part of the new guard of German wine: global in outlook, bold in vision, and not afraid to push boundaries.
