The Döttingen wine-growing cooperative has existed since 1912. We have changed a lot in the 112 years. We have evolved from a long-established consumer and agricultural cooperative to a cooperative specializing in wine and grape production. We are a small, family-run cooperative that made the leap to quality wine a few years ago. Our grapes are picked by many volunteers. The community and the preservation of our vineyard landscape are just as important to us as achieving top grape quality and transforming it into a great wine. We are proud of the good mix of generations and we firmly believe that we are strong together.
Program:
We greet you in front of our trotte, which was built in 1837. Here you will be equipped with a pair of pruning scissors and other important utensils. We introduce you to the Döttingen winegrowers' cooperative and our region. From here we take a shuttle to the vineyard. We divide into small groups and harvest grapes under the guidance of one of our employees. At lunchtime, we serve you a winemaker's sausage made according to an old recipe from our village butcher or a vegetable burger from our cellar master (vegetarian). Baket Poteto and salad are served on the side. Coffee and the best Aargauer "Rüeblichueche" (carrot cake) complete the lunch. There will be plenty of wine and water and for the little ones there will be grape must and Apfelschorle. In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to get a taste of the unique cellar atmosphere. You can help with any work and, if the time is right, stomp grapes with your feet. If the weather is unexpectedly bad, we will bring this part of the program forward to the morning.
