Winery Westerhaus Castle

Where the wine of the Nieder-Ingelheim winegrowers' co-operative used to be pressed, matured and stored is now a place of wine enjoyment. Almost 30 Ingelheim winegrowers and a distillery present their top wines and fine spirits here. Whether red or white, dry or off-dry - lovers of fine wines will find the perfect opportunity to get to know Ingelheim wines in the modern ambience of the vinotheque.

The best wines from almost 30 Ingelheim winegrowers and a distillery are displayed in modern wire racks that form a harmonious contrast to the old sandstone walls. Tasting is expressly encouraged, and the 3- or 6-glass wine tasting on offer invites you to do just that. In addition to excellent wines, wine-related products such as the Ingelheim red wine sock or freshly roasted coffee in a red wine barrel are also on the shelves.

The varied range of wines is also presented in the online shop of the Vinothek Ingelheim. If you would like to be informed about news or promotions of the Vinothek, we recommend subscribing to the newsletter.

The vinotheque in the Winzerkeller is a "Rheinhessen EXCELLENT vinotheque". In September 2021, the Vinothek im Winzerkeller was named one of the 30 most beautiful vinotheques in Germany by the German Wine Institute. The Vinothek is also featured in the new Merian catalogue X1/2021 "Weingenuss Deutschland". See for yourself and click here

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.
