Basel Three Countries
"Wines and Art"
Presentation
We combine the city “Three countries” tour with a visit to the vineyards in Weil am Rhein together with a great wine tasting experience in a local German winery. All just accessible with a short ride from Basel.
We will encounter along the way a few of the “24 Stops”, 24 milestones created by artist Tobias Rehberger in 1996, which link the Foundation Beyeler with Vitra Museum.
