This guide will help you how to complete the sidequest ‘In Vino Veritas’ in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
Starting Location
Speak with vineyard owner Casper Rudolf near the fountain in Kuttenberg City. Agree to help him by pretending to be a wine expert and finding out secrets from Innkeeper Havel.
Study Casper’s book on wine (Optional)
Next, go through the main gate to enter the garden. At the entrance, you’ll meet Hugo (guard) and must pass two speech checks for him to let you in.
Inside the garden, talk to Adleta and ask for Casper’s book. To get the book, you must pass a Persuasion speech check by offering to be her friend. Next, you need to gift her 5 x Marigolds from the garden in exchange for the book – Sir Bushek’s vintner wisdom. Once you receive the book, go to your inventory and read the book.
Make an impression on Havel the tavern keeper
Now, head to the Emperor Charles Tavern in the north part of the city and speak with Havel. You need to join him in wine tasting and pass a series of drinking skill checks.
A few important answers to pass skill checks are Germany > Steinberger > It’s missing ginger
Tell Casper about the results of your investigation
After passing the drinking skill check, head back to Casper with the information you have gained from Havel. Select the dialogue ‘How do I get into the Vineyard‘
Get hired at the vineyard (Optional)
Head to the vineyard located in the north of Kuttenberg. Go to the southern gate of the Vineyard and speak with the recruiter to get hired for a job in the vineyard.
Find the monastery’s secret
To uncover the monastery’s secret, enter the central building and head to the kitchen. At the back of the kitchen, you’ll find a locked door that requires a medium-difficulty lockpicking skill to open.
Once inside, look for a chest, open it, and collect the Sulfur Wicks.
Get seedlings for Casper (0/5) (Optional)
To find the seedlings, go inside the central building and enter the door immediately to the right. This will lead you to a closed-off area. There are two gardens in this area – go to the right garden to find the seedlings. Steal at least 5 and bring them back to Casper.
Take the monastery’s secret to Casper
Head back to Casper to deliver all the secrets of the monastery. This will end the quest.
