Taste companion meets taste experts

Its finely balanced mineral content and the way its different sparkling and still varieties refresh the senses make Taunusquelle the ideal complement for fine cuisine and complex wines. Markus Del Monego also appreciates the quality of the mineral water and its unique taste: „I love the balanced character of Taunusquelle. It‘ a fantastic mineral water for using to play with wine. The mineral content is so high I can feel the refreshment and experience the positive aspects of mineralisation. On the other hand, mineralisation doesn’t affect the tannins, acidity or sweetness of a wine. Instead, it accompanies it every time in a wonderfully discreet way and even pulls it somewhat into the foreground, allowing the wine to retain all of its character.“

Del Monego & Friends series of events

Elegant surroundings, exceptional flavours, regional wines – simply enjoy the very best a region has to offer in culinary terms. This is at the heart of the new exclusive „Del Monego & Friends“ events offered by Taunusquelle of Bad Camberg.
