Todays guests are Max Dexheimer and Marika Tikas. Max is a fifth-generation winemaker whose great-great-grandfather founded the winery back in 1896. Marika is an Estonian sommelier who helped launch Fotografiska and was one of the curators of its beverage selection. Together, Max and Marika craft wines that showcase the full potential of the Rheinhessen region, while honoring the surrounding nature and local grape varieties.
In June, Fotografiska partnered with the Dexheimer family winery, now run by the fifth generation with heart and soul. Together, we blended four wines — two white and two red — infused with our knowledge, intuition, and passion. Fifteen members of the Fotografiska food and beverage team, along with friends, traveled to Rheinhessen, Germany in June 2025 to co-create these special wines with the winemakers.
Dexheimer Winery is led by Marika and Max, united by their deep passion for natural wine. Ideally, nothing is added to or taken away from the wine — it’s the purest, most honest, and authentic expression of the grape. The grapes are handpicked, and winemaking involves minimal intervention. Finished wines are neither fined nor filtered.
The podcast is hosted by Fotografiska sparkle, Elo Aun.
