Social Program:

At the end of Monday program, we will have a Reception, followed by the joint Conference Dinner on the hotel terrace, or inside, depending on the usually lovely weather in May. Dinner is accompanied by a variety of local wines, soft drinks, or beer. During the conference dinner, you will meet and get to know the other participants. The dinner ends at 10 pm.

Accompanying partners can enjoy sightseeing of the beautiful Rhine area, or shopping in Mainz, Wiesbaden, or Frankfurt, all easily accessible by public transportation. A boat trip on the Rhine River, seeing the world heritage site of the Middle Rhine Valley with its spectacular scenery of many castles and the ‘Lorelei’ is also recommended. If you are interested to tour a number of outstanding wine makers in Rheinhessen; Nahe or Rheingau for a tasting and wine purchase, please request additional information from the organizer.
