Details
Description
On the easy, approx. 750-metre-long tour around the Alter Torkel in Jenins, you can learn more about the history and present of viticulture in the Bündner Herrschaft and the Chur Rhine Valley. The 8 information boards tell you, among other things, that wine has been cultivated in Graubünden since the Middle Ages at the latest. Or that over 50 different grape varieties thrive on an area of just 4.2 square kilometers. And that the color of the wine has nothing to do with the color of the grapes, but with the way they are processed.
Hidden Gem
A glass of wine in the rustic Alte Torkel or on its terrace is of course a must.
