Wine Regions in the Baden-WürttembergHome is where the Wine is

The wine regions of Southwest Germany are as unique as its wines. From the Mediterranean climate around Lake Constance to the Rhine Valley with its distinctive volcanic rock, up to Tauber Franconia where the local Tauberschwarz grape calls home. Württemberg begins at the edge of the Swabian Alb, leading through the Heilbronn Basin, along the Neckar River’s ancient slopes to the Kocher, Jagst, and Tauber valleys. In the end, you can always raise your glass and reflect on the perfect wine moment. Our wine villages are ideal starting points for your individual wine experiences

Lake Constance

Palm trees and many other plants indicate that a particularly mild climate prevails between Meersburg and the island of Reichenau. This also benefits the lake wines, especially the locally cherished Müller-Thurgau.

Kaiserstuhl & Tuniberg

The Kaiserstuhl was once a volcano, and the rock of its soil still imparts a distinctive flavor to the vines today. One-third of all Baden wines, including many Pinot varieties, are produced in this terraced landscape.
Where the Kaiserstuhl ends, the Tuniberg begins – a narrow, roughly ten-kilometer-long limestone ridge. This unique landscape produces exceptional wines, with Pinot Noir grapes making up 60 percent of the cultivation—higher here than anywhere else.
