Late summer sun

An old farmer's rule says "September is beautiful in the first few days, but it's perfect for the whole of autumn." After the rainy summer holidays, we are now looking forward to sunny days, warm temperatures during the day and pleasantly cool nights.

Grape Month

When summer comes to an end, the harvest time is eagerly awaited every year. The start is a magical moment for our winemakers, so they await the time they have been working towards all year with anticipation and excitement.

An insider tip is the newly opened wine trail in Großwinternheim! At 1.3 km, it is absolutely suitable for families and the perfect little round.

The five thematic panels of the Großwinternheim wine trail provide information about the work in the vineyard, local vineyards and soils, wine and sparkling wine production as well as the significance of the typical dry stone walls and stone cellars in the vineyards. A small quiz and information on insects, birds, lizards and snails make the wine trail family-friendly and also interesting for children., © Rainer Oppenheimer/Stadt Ingelheim
