The Weinbaugenossenschaft Döttingen is a winemaking cooperative at Chilbert 11 in Döttingen, Switzerland. It hires out its Trotte, the press house where the wine is made and sold, as an event and tasting room for up to 60 guests. The site names company parties, club general meetings, weddings, baptisms, birthdays and family gatherings as typical uses. This page covers one room, so it suits small groups that want a simple setting among wine cellars rather than a large venue.
Seminars and company events
The cooperative lists company parties and club general meetings among the events it hosts. The room holds up to 60 people, and the lighting is described as a modern, reduced concept that allows varied lighting of the space. Chairs, tables, crockery and a complete kitchen with accessories are provided, so a team can organize an evening or a half-day gathering without bringing furniture.
The site does not list projectors, screens or other meeting equipment. If you plan a presentation or a general meeting with slides, ask the cooperative what is available before you book. A guided visit of the Trotte, lasting about one hour, or a professionally led tasting of the range can be added to the program. This works as a team activity before or after a meeting.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, baptisms and birthdays are named on the rental page. For a wedding aperitif or a small reception, the room offers the same layout and equipment as for any other event. The cooperative states that couples and families are welcome and invites them to get in touch to discuss every detail.
Rooms and capacities
The offer is one event and tasting room in the Trotte, with space for up to 60 guests. The site describes the equipment as follows: chairs, tables, crockery, a complete kitchen, a cloakroom, separate toilets and enough parking spaces around the Trotte. The pages reviewed give no floor area, and they do not say how the 60 places are split between seated and standing formats.
Catering
Organisers can use the kitchen themselves or order from the cooperative's catering offers. These range from a Fleischplättli platter, available from two people, to a rich aperitif platter from a caterer and a standing lunch from ten people. The wines of the cooperative are the natural pairing, and the site presents a tasting with an expert guide as an option.
History and setting
The Döttingen cooperative brings together local winegrowers, and the Trotte is its working press house. Events therefore take place in a building that is part of the wine production, not in a separate hall. Wine sales from the Trotte run on Fridays from 5 to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:30 to 11 a.m., and the team asks visitors to call first.
Getting there
The address is Weinbaugenossenschaft Döttingen, Chilbert 11, 5312 Döttingen. Parking is available around the Trotte. The site gives no public transport details, so ask the team when you send your request. Phone: +41 56 245 27 40.
