We had an incredible wine tour with Sarah - a fantastic English speaking guide. Her passion for wine and knowledge about the chateaux were evident throughout the tour. Sarah is very knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic, and her explanations about the wine-making process and the history of the chateau were very interesting. The wine tastings were also great! Our 3 kids (aged 7, 9 and 11) loved the tour too! I highly recommend this tour! *** Only issue is that google maps gave us very wrong directions and it was not easy to find the right entrance

Their cellar network was astounding. So much history behind this property. Not forgetting the lovely view of the vineyards from their courtyard. Sarah was a great host at the tasting.

What a great experience me and my partner had. Our guide Sarah explained the tour in such detail, that girl needs to be given a promotion. She has big passion and love for the work she does. I learned so much about the history and the wine.I highly recommend ??

We made a visit to the winery, with our guide Sarah! There is no way to explain how interesting the tour was mainly because the cellars ooze a lot of history plus the way Sarah Marcou explained it was amazing! Also when we made conversation with Sarah she told us that it was her second month in the job! I thought that with her enthusiasm she was part of the company for a very long time! Thank you Sarah for an amazing experience and may you have a lot of clients because you surely deserve it!

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
