Some quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* require you to reach Kuttenberg before becoming available. However, reaching Kuttenberg unlocks inter-region travel, opening up a world of new adventures. Let's explore how to complete the "Under the Straw Hat" quest.

"Under the Straw Hat" is unlocked by first completing "In Vino Veritas," a side quest in Kuttenberg. Upon arrival, speak to Casper Rudolf, offering free wine samples on the city's west side. He needs information to improve his wine. You can either impress Havel with wine knowledge directly (requiring fine clothing and cleanliness) or retrieve Casper's book from Adleta, gaining knowledge by reading it. To impress Havel, choose "Germany," "Steinberger," and "It's missing ginger" as your responses. Return to Casper with your findings.
Accessing the Vineyard
Casper now tasks you with infiltrating the vineyard north of Kuttenberg to investigate the incense Havel mentioned. Avoid trespassing by using the main road. Speak to the recruiter; this initiates the "Under the Straw Hat" quest. Continue along the road, passing a guard, to find Jerome on a bench. Inform him of your assignment.
Jerome will explain your vineyard duties.

Working at the Vineyard
Work begins the following day. Return to the vineyard after resting. To earn wages, move sacks and harvest thistles. Alternatively, proceed directly to find the secret incense in the cellar of the main building. Access requires lockpicking or stealing Jerome's keys. Retrieve the Sulphur Wicks from the cellar chest. For an increased reward, collect five seedlings (requires quick trespassing) from near the entrance to the main building. If you completed your work duties, collect your pay from Jerome. Finally, return to Casper with the wicks and any collected seedlings to complete "Under the Straw Hat" and "In Vino Veritas," unlocking quests like "Master Schindel’s Toys."
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
