Sip slowly from a selection of over two hundred wines showcased by top domestic and international producers. Please Note: The bulk of this event is reserved for our Weekend Package Ticket Holders; individual tickets are extremely limited.

The Legendary Dessert Wines of Kracher (Saturday)When Alois Kracher passed away in 2007, the international wine community collectively mourned. Personally loved as much as his wines, Kracher nearly single-handedly revived the great sweet winemaking tradition of Austria where his unctuous trockenbeerenauslese among other botyritized wines scored huge acclaim. We are very honored to present this examination of Kracher's greatest wines – please join us as we pay homage to the man and his acclaimed products.

Lexus Grand Tasting Saturday (Saturday)The Lexus Grand Tasting Tent at Pebble Beach Food & Wine is the weekend's most spectacular opportunity for maximum culinary indulgence.

Profile

The Kracher Winery lies in the Seewinkel area of Austria´s Burgenland. Here, continuous warm-humid weather patterns are dominant and, therefore, allow for Botrytis cinerea to be generated. This is what provides the basis for the fantastic sweet wines such as Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese.
