An der Industrienacht erfährst du die Geheimnisse der Weinproduktion und kannst beim Weinaromen-Parcours deinen Geschmackssinn testen. Der Zeitpunkt könnte besser nicht sein: Es ist Erntezeit!

Juicy grapes grow on the slopes of the Basel region and have always been processed into delicious wine. The Siebe Dupf winery is part of this tradition. It has been active in the wine trade since 1874 and produces its own excellent wines. At the Industry Night, you can learn the secrets of wine production and test your sense of taste on the wine flavour trail. The timing couldn't be better: it's harvest time!

Harvesting and consumption are followed by disposal. It is at the end of the natural cycle and, in the best case, ensures that new raw materials are created again. Waser Entsorgung from Sissach specialises in recycling. The company disposes of, sorts and recycles in accordance with legal environmental guidelines at five locations in the region.
