Details
Description
On the simple, approx. 750 meter long tour around the Old Torkel in Jenins you will learn more about the history and present of viticulture in the Grisons dominion and in the Chur Rhine Valley. On a total of 8 information boards you will 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 kilometers. And that the color of the wine has to do not with the color of the grapes, but with the way of processing.

Of course, a glass of wine in the rustic Old Torkel or on its terrace should not be missing.
