Wein am Berg: Fine Wine Weekend in the Austrian Alps

Wein am Berg, an annual wine weekend in Sölden, Austria, hosted by Das Central hotel, has been running for 23 years. The event combines skiing with wine tastings at altitudes up to 3,000 meters, where altitude alters perception of flavors. Austrian wines from regions like Wachau, Kamptal, and Burgenland are featured, including producers such as Weingut Bründlmayer, Leberl, and Paul Achs. International wines from Champagne, Bordeaux, Sauternes, Spain, and Portugal are also presented. Culinary offerings include dishes from Michelin-starred chefs Andy Beynon (Behind, London) and Dennis Ilies & Janina Trogisch (Tannenhof Hotel, Tyrol). The Ice Q restaurant, known from the James Bond film Spectre, is part of the experience. The event includes a -100°C cryotherapy treatment room. Bookings are open for Wein am Berg 2027 (22-25 April) from €2100. Das Central Hotel offers double rooms from €250 per person per night.
