Details
Description
On the easy, approx. 750-metre-long tour around the Alter Torkel in Jenins, you will learn more about the history and present of viticulture in the Graubünden region and in the Chur Rhine Valley. On the 8 information boards, you can learn, among other things, that wine has been cultivated in Graubünden since the Middle Ages at the latest. Or that more than 50 different grape varieties thrive on a total cultivation area of only 4.2 square kilometres. And that the color of the wine does not have to do with the color of the grapes, but with the way it is processed.
Geheimtipp
Of course, a glass of wine in the rustic Old Torkel or on its terrace should not be missing.
