The Family with a Century-Long Winemaking Tradition
Offenstein Erben is a historic winery rooted in viticulture since 1883, founded by Wilhelm Offenstein, the great-grandfather of current winemaker Thomas Schumacher Junior. Located in the picturesque town of Holzstrasse in Eltville, this family-owned winery has proudly maintained its winemaking legacy for five generations.
Thomas Schumacher Junior, recognized as the Young Winemaker of the Year 2016/2017, along with his wife Tamara, has enhanced traditional winemaking practices while establishing new quality standards. Since 1998, the winery has also welcomed guests to its wine hotel, offering comfortable accommodations and engaging activities for visitors.
The family cultivates both traditional and modern grape varieties across 10 hectares of vineyards. The estate primarily grows 75% Riesling and 25% Pinot Noir, benefiting from the unique Rheingau climate, rich soils, and meticulous manual viticulture. This commitment ensures the production of exceptional Riesling and Pinot Noir wines that are highly sought after. The family prioritizes sustainability, blending traditional methods with energy-efficient technologies to foster healthy vines and a thriving ecosystem.

We love buying our wine here. You get great advice and can ask your way through the wine selection. The location is really lovely, especially during the gourmet week and at the farm festival. The seating is great here!

We were there 3 nights. Very nice large room with a balcony. Bright clean bathroom with large shower. The furnishings with furniture are a bit “varied” 😉 Very tasty wine at reasonable prices. Eltville is also recommended. Good restaurants (yellow house, wine pump) Thank you

Our regular winemaker for over 15 years. We really like the development of the wines every year. The wine festivals and hikes with finger food are also excellent every year. The whole family is super nice and gives very good advice.

The winery and hotel have a very good location in Eltville. Our room was quite spacious and very clean. The breakfast was very good and in a pleasant atmosphere. The wines are also very good, we tried a few! I was particularly pleased with the service, that gluten-free bread was specially ordered. If I visit this area again, I will definitely come back.
