From 01 to 03 April, in real “April weather”, almost 60 wine enthusiasts and professionals met at the Winzerkeller in Ingelheim for a lively exchange, information and of course tasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, some people have already published a blog about the VCRhh2022 and vividly described their experiences – but when does the planning for such an event actually begin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I usually plan about half a year in advance, but – and so again this year – in the end it gets tight \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The very first step is to find a date that has to be agreed with Rheinhessenwein eV<\/a>, the location, and the catering. Fortunately, this went quite quickly and everyone pulled together. At a first personal meeting we could already clarify details. Who can support which part and what is roughly needed?! Here I also had a good support on site with the team of the Vinothek<\/a>, which could pass on the information to the wineries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subsequently comes the diligence task to contact and clarify all other sponsors. Who will be there again this time, or who might not be able to support Vinocamp anymore? We actually had only one “failure” this year. You probably didn’t know what the loud rumble meant at the time, but it was the stone that fell from my heart. \ud83d\ude02\u00a0 Because, as you surely know, Vinocamp stands and falls with sponsorship. Otherwise, I would have to be market-oriented with the prices and thus we would not be able to get together in the informal and relaxed atmosphere that we all love so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This time I had a great support with Jer\u00f4me from Bottlestops<\/a> and we could act as a team, which was very helpful. \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n\n\n\n AND \u2026 many of you have offered their help with organizing for next time – we will certainly come back to it! Thank you very much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Punctually at 5 p.m., our colorful group of “pre-arrivals”, “old hands” and the \u201ecurious” met at the Winzerkeller for a first glass of Secco from the Merl winery<\/a>, which appropriately welcomed us from the Vinothek, i.e. on behalf of the Ingelheim vintners. Well equipped with further donations of wine from the Vinothek and PIWI International\/Germany, the majority found a seat in the covered wagon, which we were kindly sponsored by the city of Ingelheim<\/a>. A perfect start for our little tour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big thank you to all the sponsors for their continued support at this point!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
