Original vine stock 58 - Müller-Thurgau

Vine stock no. 58 is considered to be the original stock of the Riesling-Silvaner variety, also known as Müller-Thurgau. It was crossed in Geisenheim in 1882 by Hermann Müller-Thurgau and later propagated in Wädenswil. A direct descendant of the original vine still stands today at the vineyard of the former Federal Research Institute in Wädenswil. On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of Hermann Müller-Thurgau, the history of the most successful white wine cross in the world has been reappraised. The Müller-Thurgau Experience Association reports on the exciting findings first hand at the legendary vine. Date 1 May 2025 Time 11:00 am–5:00 pm Admission Free

Many of the vineyards offer visitors a taste of the local cuisine, including fish nuggets, cheese and barbecue specialities, in a pleasant setting, along with their fine wines. The foundations for the ‘Open Wine Cellars’ were laid on 1 May in the canton of Zurich in the early 2000s.
