At the invitation of the Friends' Association, a special alumni network meeting took place last Wednesday evening (September 24) at the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society: The third exclusive wine tasting with Prof. Dominik Durner from the Neustadt Wine Campus.
Around 40 participants - alumni, students and members of the Friends' Association - enjoyed an entertaining journey through German wine-growing regions, including a detour to Luxembourg. This time, the focus was on the wines of former students of the Neustadt Wine Campus. Motto: "Worlds of enjoyment of the wine campus alumni"
In his "wine tasting in eight acts", Prof. Durner not only presented a variety of wine styles, but also the personalities of the winemakers, their businesses and the respective growing regions. With a great deal of charm and expertise, he also gave a very exciting general insight into viticulture, its marketing and current challenges - and even practical tips on how to create the perfect "instagrammable" wine glass.
The mixture of enjoyment, knowledge and networking made the evening an all-round successful experience for all participants.
