A state-owned domain since the 1803 secularisation, farming 60 hectares, pours its Bodensee Riesling and newer disease-resistant Piwi crosses overlooking Lake Constance above Meersburg's old town.
Tip: Combine with the Vineum Bodensee wine museum a few minutes away for a full Meersburg wine afternoon.
Address: Seminarstrasse 6, 88709 Meersburg, Germany, Baden
Set inside the former Cistercian Kloster Bronnbach on the Tauber, this vinothek pours wines from 24 growers across the Taubertal, a single stop for the district's Mueller-Thurgau and Silvaner.
Tip: Pair a tasting with the adjoining monastery shop and gardens, which keep the same Wednesday-to-Sunday hours.
Run by the Becksteiner winemakers' cooperative on shell-limestone terroir, this daily-open vinothek offers free tastings of Tauberfranken Mueller-Thurgau, Bacchus and Silvaner alongside a wine tavern and sun terrace.
Tip: Ask staff about the curated tasting packages, priced from roughly EUR 32 for a themed selection of bottles to take home.
At the historic Sonnenstueck site above Schliengen, this cooperative outlet pours Baden's signature Gutedel and sparkling Nobling, made by more than 760 member-grower families, with counter tastings during retail hours.
Tip: Ask to taste the Schloss Entenstein Nobling Sekt alongside the still Gutedel for a sense of the site's range.
This Ortenau cooperative's vinothek sits on Durbach's vineyard edge, pouring the Klingelberger Riesling the village is named for alongside Spaetburgunder from its steep terraces and a scheduled open tasting.
Tip: The Offene Weinprobe cellar tour needs no advance booking; just show up during the scheduled slot for a three-wine flight.
Salwey's tasting room sits above a cellar that drops 12 metres into the Kaiserstuhl's volcanic rock, with flights moving from entry-level Spaetburgunder up through the estate's Grosse Lage bottlings.
Tip: Ask to see the cellar itself; the basalt walls are as much the draw here as the wine.
Dr. Heger pours its Winklerberg Grosse Lage bottlings at the Ihringen cellar door, and cellar tours cover the estate's continued use of horse-drawn ploughs on the steepest volcanic terraces.
Tip: Book ahead for the cellar tour if the horse-drawn vineyard work interests you as much as the wine.
