Guided Walking Tour through the vitiforestry project WeinWald at Staffelter Hof

The Wine Forest Hike begins at the Staffelter Hof, the oldest vineyard in the world, and takes you into our forward-looking flagship project. On a guided tour through the Wine Forest, you will experience firsthand how olive trees meet PIWI vines, how herbs, roses, hedges, and trees interact within a vibrant ecosystem – and how new fertility arises from our own compost. Accompanied by impressive views of the landscape, you will dive deeply into our vision of climate-resilient viticulture.
We share with you solid knowledge about the project, sustainable viticulture, biodiversity, and the history of our winery – authentic, transparent, and with genuine passion. Of course, enjoyment is also essential: During the hike, you will taste five selected wines and directly experience how the future can resonate in a glass.

Our Wine Forest is a forward-looking flagship project and virtually unique in its form: Almost exclusively PIWI vines – fungus-resistant, climate-resilient grape varieties – grow here in a consciously designed agroforestry system among around 150 trees and over 800 hedges and shrubs. This diverse, resilient ecosystem is our answer to the challenges of climate change and a crucial step towards our goal of producing CO₂-neutral wine one day. At the same time, it creates a place where one can encounter nature directly – a space where each year we are allowed to give back a bit of its energy to the Earth and our environment.
