Taste training

Sharpening the senses of his interested guests, promoting creativity by the inspiring ambience and raising a new awareness of the sensory interplay between aromas, textures and temperatures - this is the objective behind Thomas Bühner's taste training sessions at la vie.

The homely taste training sessions have been perfectly adapted to the architecture of the old Steinwerk. The preparatory kitchen, with bar area and recessed seated alcoves, is adjacent to the chef's kitchen, equipped with every refinement and high-tech devices, comprising a worktop with induction hobs, wok burners and teppanyaki. A cosy eating area with a large table inviting you to enjoy a sociable get-together and to consume the delicacies prepared, completes the working areas.

Cheese and wine tasting

Fan-taste-tic range of unpasteurised cheeses

Cheese is the fragrant result of the metamorphosis of cow's, sheep and goat's milk. It matures under the influence of salt, air, time and space, and plenty of tender loving care. But how can I tell when a cheese has the perfect degree of maturity, where and how which cheese is made, the best way to store a certain cheese, the correct cheese knife for each cheese and how to use it? Once these questions have been answered, your enjoyment of unpasteurised cheese will be crowned with a degustation of harmonising wines from la vie wine loft of the Altes Steinwerk. Our sommelier Sven Oetzel combines a nuanced arrangement of cheese and wine delights for the palate.
