Brennerei Ziegler is one of Germany's most acclaimed fruit distilleries, producing world-class Obstbrand from locally grown plums, cherries, and pears. A private cellar tour and seated tasting with the master distiller is a rare, insider luxury.
What to expect
A family member or senior distiller walks you through the copper pot stills and barrel aging rooms, explaining the meticulous slow-distillation philosophy that has earned Ziegler international awards. The tasting flight showcases five to seven expressions — from fresh Williams pear to complex ten-year aged plum — each paired with thoughtful context on provenance and terroir. You'll leave with the opportunity to purchase bottles unavailable outside the estate.
