Come meet and toast Gunther, owner of Schlink Haus Winery in Germany, during his birthday celebration. Mr. Schlink always plans his US visit around our Festival of the Vine because he enjoys it so much! Mr. Schlink started his formal training in France and Germany. After marrying his sweetheart, he entered the business with his father Georg. In 1957 he started building his own import/export business in German, French and Italian wines. Presently he is working as the Senior President for Schlink Haus Winery all over the world. We’re very honored he chose The Little Traveler to help celebrate this milestone.
Discover new favorites at one of our many tasting stations during this year’s event, September 10-12. We will be sampling from dozens of vintners including Schlink Haus, Glunz and local wineries such as Lynfred and Illinois River, plus many more. In addition to our delightful selection of reds and whites, we will sample several seasonal wines such as Hollowine and Chateau St. Nick. And for chocolate lovers we will again be pouring the Chocovine! This delicious combination of Dutch chocolate and French cabernet is a Little Traveler favorite. And, as always, The Little Traveler’s samples are free!
