http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24189
Summer festival on last weekend in August is particularly worth a visit with approximately 15 wines, organic food, music, informal tours by the owner and tours by traditional horse-drawn carts through the vines (a bumpy ride if you take your wineglass with you!).

Owners also do regular tasting events both on and off-site and will organise all kinds of tailored tasting events on site for groups. All wines certified organic by top German organic authorities etc. and they deliver (often personally where they can!) cases to just about everywhere in Germany. Wines can also be bought by bottle or case at a discount on site too.

Who needs Tuscany anyway? This is so much better, such a cool informal place, great wine, great food, great people with so much passion for wine!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24189 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24187 Goose Island is Chicago's only "craft beer" i.e. microbrewery and has been going since 1988.
They do brewery tours at N. Clybourn site on Sunday afternoons at $3 for a tour, full beer tastings and a souvenir glass to take away! Its ideal to have a leisurely lunch there (the food is also great, esp. the burgers) followed by the tour.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24187
