As a part of the celebration of the Botanical Garden's 150 year anniversary at Nørrevold, we invite you to a very special sensory tour with wine tasting in the garden.
We often turn to fruits, flowers and herbs to help us describe the complex aromas and flavours of wine. For this event you will experience a special guided tour with one of our Botanical Garden tour guides alongside Qian Janice Wang, Associate Professor of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen, and the only person residing in Denmark to have passed the notoriously difficult Master of Wine exam.
During the tour, you will have the chance to smell various plants in the garden while tasting four especially selected wines, to help develop your own wine tasting skills.You will get to enjoy and experience Denmark's greatest living plant collection with all your senses as we open the world of plants and wine through taste and smell in the middle of the greenery.
The tour will be both outdoors in the romantic garden and indoors in the iconic Victorian Palm House, and the four wines will take your nose and palate on a journey from fresh to pungent. You will be presented to wine aromas and their corresponding plants from a broad spectrum from e.g. fresh herbs and grass, to pepper and ginger. The tour and tasting will be in English.
The ticket also gives free access to one visit on your own to the Palm House on the day of the tour during normal opening hours. Find the opening hours for the Palm House here.

ABOUT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN - A LIVING MUSEUM
The Botanical Garden is a green haven in the heart of Copenhagen, which invites you to immerse yourself in the world of nature. The Botanical Garden was laid out in 1874 according to a garden plan by landscape gardener H.A. Flindt. Its was then renovated in 2012 by landscape architect Jens Hendeliowitz, who, among other things, is known for the restoration of the palace gardens at Fredensborg and Frederiksborg as well as the King's Garden in Copenhagen.
The old garden is part of the Natural History Museum of Denmark and differs markedly from other parks in the big city by being a living museum with research, dissemination, teaching and nature conservation as its main tasks.
