Weingut Schloss Westerhaus
Johannes Graf von Schönburg
Westerhaus
55218 Ingelheim am Rhein
Wines and estates are spectacular. The castle ensemble (16th/17th century) towers stately over Ingelheim. In 1900, the von Opel family acquired the estate. Today, the VDP winery is run by Count and Countess Schönburg-Glauchau in the fourth generation. It benefits from an outstanding stock of vines in the Schloss Westerhaus monopollage and other sites in the Selz Valley.
Wine tastings are available by appointment for up to 50 people.
The winery is located directly on the premium hiking trail "Hiwweltour Westerberg".
Paddocks and stables reveal that Schloss Westerhaus is not only a winery, but also a stud farm that breeds racehorses. When the large wooden gate of the castle is open, the vinotheque is open and you can taste a glass of wine made from the vines that grow along the Hiwweltour Westerberg.
Where once the wine of the Nieder-Ingelheim Winemakers' Association was pressed, matured, and stored, there is now a place for wine enjoyment. Almost 30 Ingelheim winemakers and a distillery showcase their top wines and fine spirits here. Whether red or white, dry or semi-dry - lovers of good wine will find optimal opportunities to get to know Ingelheim wines in the modern ambiance of the wine shop.
In modern wire frames that create a harmonious contrast to the old sandstone walls, they lie: the best drops from the almost 30 Ingelheim winemakers and one distillery. Tasting is explicitly encouraged, as highlighted by the offered 3- or 6-glass wine tasting or a sparkling wine tasting. It also offers a variety of events, where visitors can taste fine wines and gain deeper insights into the art of winemaking. In addition to excellent wines, there are also products related to wine available in the regional shop on-site.
