Weingut Schloss Janson is nestled in Bockenheim, a prime area of the Palatinate wine region. The winery is framed by historic walls, giving it a distinctive charm. Visitors can enjoy a well-appointed courtyard and a quaint wine shop within the main building, perfect for wine tasting experiences. The estate produces approximately 220,000 bottles of wine each year, showcasing the rich flavors of the region.
The history of Weingut Schloss Janson dates back to the 12th century. In the 1500s, Count Emich XI of Leiningen transformed the rustic castle into a small palace. Heinrich Janson took over the estate in 1831, initiating grape cultivation and converting part of the palace into a wine cellar. Since the early 1980s, the estate has operated solely as a winery. Today, Kurt and Annesuse Janson, along with their children Sarah and Kurt, continue the family legacy by producing exceptional red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.
The estate spans 50 hectares of vineyards, including notable plots like Burggarten, Mandelpfad (Dirmstein), and Klosterschaffnerei (Bockenheim). The vineyards are home to premium white varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Scheurebe, along with Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and Müller-Thurgau. For red wines, they cultivate Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are aged and refined in stainless steel tanks and large wooden barrels, ensuring quality and character in every bottle.

Write a reviewVery beautiful and tastefully decorated location for parties and weddings. The food was excellent - as a service provider I often go to weddings, but Schloss Janson particularly stood out with its excellent cuisine. Really delicious! The service staff were also extremely attentive and very friendly. I would love to come back. Keep up the good work!

We celebrated our wedding at Janson Castle in September. What a great location. All of our guests were positive about the location. There was the perfect selection of wine to go with dinner, what more could you want? The service staff fulfilled our every wish and were there on the dance floor or in the photo booth 😄 really great! The overnight stay in the guest house was also wonderful. The small self-catering kitchen offers everything your heart desires. There is also a wine fridge available here. All in all, a really successful day in a wonderful location. We look forward to visiting the Janson family and the team again soon.

In June 2024 we celebrated our wedding at the Schloss Janson winery. All of the guests, including us of course, were absolutely thrilled with the location. The nice thing is that there are 2 different rooms (for eating and for celebrating) and a wonderful garden. Our guests spent most of their time there on a warm summer night. We also spent 2 nights in the guest house directly next door. This was also lovingly decorated. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to visiting again very soon. The team was very helpful at all times and the wines were great - something for every taste.

A dream location - we celebrated our wedding here and were completely satisfied with the wines, the ambience and the exceptionally good service. Ms. Janson and the whole team were always on hand to help and advise us when we had questions and made our big day unforgettable. The really beautiful guest house, where we spent two nights, was the icing on the cake. Our guests fell in love with the whole location just like we did and were thrilled. We will definitely be back and will always remember this weekend fondly! 😊
