Weingut Schmitt Bergtheim We stopped at the Weingut Schmitt Bergtheim because we were curious about wines from the Franconian area. So we chose to stop at Weingut Schmitt. They were in the middle of the wine harvest but still took time to show us around. We met an incredibly knowledgeable nice girl who know a lot about the different wines we tasted. She also told us a bit of the history of the winery. We got a tour where we got to see a bit how they produced the wine. And we will certainly make further visits.
