Founded in 1844 by Joseph Zähringer at the foot of the Black Forest, Weingut Zähringer is a family-owned winery that has thrived for six generations. Today, Fabian Zähringer leads the winery, continuing a proud tradition of winemaking that began over 175 years ago.
Weingut Zähringer was a pioneer in organic viticulture, adopting sustainable farming methods as early as 1987. In 2010, the winery achieved DEMETER certification, emphasizing its dedication to biodynamic principles. Their commitment to organic farming earned them first place in the Organic Farming Award in 2013. The winery's goal is to produce exceptional wines that showcase the unique biodiversity and natural characteristics of the Baden region.
Located in the picturesque Markgraflerland of South Baden, the winery benefits from a mild climate, thanks to the nearby Rhine River and the Burgundian Gate, which channels warm Mediterranean air into the area. The vineyards are situated on southern slopes, while the northern areas are dedicated to fruit and field crops. The diverse climate allows for the cultivation of various grape varieties, including Gutedel, Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir. The winery produces a range of award-winning wines, including red, white, rosé, sparkling, dessert, and fortified wines. Notably, their 2017 Pinot Blanc Orange won the Best Organic White Wine Award at Mundus Vini Biofach 2020.

A winery where you feel very welcome and well advised from the first moment. Here you can taste everything that the family-run winery has to offer without rushing. There is something here for every taste, whether white or red, whether easy drinking or something special for that special moment. Everything organic from great locations around Heitersheim. We'd love to come back!

Wine is made with passion here. The winery has been farmed as 100% organic for over 20 years. With heart and mind. The Pinot Noir is awesome. And also the Pinot Gris and - oh what every wine, and the sparkling wine. The 2016 Crement is incredible. My new favorite winery. Please keep it up. A family business where your heart opens. Thank you Zähringer family!

Absolutely brilliant! A great family on a wonderful winery. - Of course, the product is ultimately the most important thing for the consumer. But if the overall package is so well-rounded at an owner-managed business, the people behind it should also be mentioned. A lot of passion and attention to detail, which results in a really great wine. Great Burgundy (also Pinot Noir!)
