Nägelförst Winery, high above Baden-Baden, combines historic charm, a unique atmosphere, and a wonderful panorama in one location. Surrounded by vines from the finest sites, it offers a magnificent view over the city. Thirty-three hectares of the top vineyard sites in the Baden-Baden wine-growing region belong to its terroir.

Nägelsförst Winery was the first wine estate in Germany whose sites were analyzed by the Frenchman Claude Bourguignon. The internationally recognized expert in soil analysis was enthusiastic about the quality and diversity of terroir in such a small area. He certified Nägelsförst Winery near Baden-Baden with top sites that, based on the classification in Burgundy, are divided into 80 percent "Grand Cru" and "Premier Cru" sites and 20 percent "Villages" sites. Bourguignon's remark that some of the wines from these sites have the potential to "be known worldwide in 10 years" is seen at Nägelsförst Winery as an incentive to continue advancing the production of wines rich in finesse and substance.

The excellent soil quality was certainly the reason why Cistercian nuns planted Pinot Noir vines from Burgundy here in 1268, thus laying the foundation for Nägelsförst Winery, and indeed for viticulture throughout the entire region. As one of the oldest wine estates in Germany and the oldest winery in the region, Nägelsförst Winery has an exceptional understanding of producing wines that are both richly textured and elegantly vibrant. In them, the advantages of southern and northern wine-growing regions combine to create a unique pleasure.

Today, tradition and a modern spirit go hand in hand at the winery. The location, the rooms, and the special atmosphere also create a wonderful setting for events of all kinds. Whether it's a family celebration, a wedding, or a seminar - your guests will be fascinated by this extraordinary venue.
