As a part of the celebration of the Botanical Garden’s 150 year anniversary at Nørrevold, we invite you to a very special sensory tour with wine tasting in the garden.
We often turn to fruits, flowers and herbs to help us describe the complex aromas and flavours of wine. For this event you will experience a special guided tour with one of our Botanical Garden tour guides alongside Qian Janice Wang, Associate Professor of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen, and the only person residing in Denmark to have passed the notoriously difficult Master of Wine exam.
During the tour, you will have the chance to smell various plants in the garden while tasting four especially selected wines, to help develop your own wine tasting skills.
You will get to enjoy and experience Denmark’s greatest living plant collection with all your senses as we open the world of plants and wine through taste and smell in the middle of the greenery.
The tour will be both outdoors in the romantic garden and indoors in the iconic Victorian Palm House, and the four wines will take your nose and palate on a journey from fresh to pungent. You will be presented to wine aromas and their corresponding plants from a broad spectrum from e.g. fresh herbs and grass, to pepper and ginger. The tour and tasting will be in English.
The ticket also gives free access to one visit on your own to the Palm House on the day of the tour during normal opening hours.
