All the wine events in Zurich Every week in your inbox

Dear Wine Lover,

How many times have you found out too late about an incredible wine event?

Or, how often do you forget about that new tasting in Zurich?

... if only I had known...

That ends today.

Because I’m about to hand you something no one else in Zurich has ever put together before:

❌ No searching.

❌ No remembering.

❌ No relying on your calendar.

With the Zurich Wine Compass, you’ll always know when and where the next tasting is happening — and you’ll never miss a bottle again.

Search only shows you the events with a marketing budget

Type “wine tasting Zurich” into Google and you get whatever ranks: the big fairs and the shops with someone doing their marketing.

Ask an AI and it reads the same pages back to you: the Weinschiff, or those huge events with thousands of visitors.

Now think about the importer who pours six vintages of one grower on a Saturday afternoon.

Or the special dinner at an unknown restaurant in Zurich, opening 20 bottles of Sassicaia. Nothing crawled either of them, so nothing can list them for you.

There are events that were never on the web to be found.

Those evenings are usually the good ones. They are also the reason this list exists.

So I put this list up mainly for myself, and I decided to share it with you. I have been doing this for over a decade now, and I have seen a lot of events.
