Riverboats and Riedel

Join us on the riverboat “The Empress” for an evening with Maximilian Riedel!  You will enjoy a wine glass tasting guided by president of Riedel, whose family has been making exceptional crystal for over 250 years.  Riedel wine glasses are of such quality and perfect function that they are nearly exclusively used in wine tasting competitions all over the world.  This is the perfect opportunity to discover why.  We have taken this tasting experience on the water in partnership with St. Croix Boat Company and will cruise the beautiful St. Croix River as we discover just what makes varietal-specific wine glasses so important to our enjoyment of wine.  Maximilian Riedel is the 11th generation of Riedel glassmakers, and keeps 250 years of family tradition in mind at all times.  He will delight you with family history, and educate you about Riedel stemware.  You will receive a set of Riedel tasting glasses to take home, a $132 value.  Class participants will also enjoy a 20% discount on all Riedel Stemware on the night of the class.
