Weinmanufaktur Gengenbach-Offenburg - Winery

History of the Weinmanufaktur Gengenbach-Offenburg

The roots of the wine history of the Ortenau region lie in the town of Gengenbach at the Von Bender House. Weinmanufaktur Gengenbach-Offenburg was founded in 1951 and became the headquarters and contact point for Gengenbach winemakers. The winery had to be moved from the city center because the street was too narrow, and there was difficulty in delivering grapes to the cellar. The building was then converted into a stylish, open restaurant with a lounge. The wines of Weinmanufaktur Gengenbach-Offenburg are showcased on-site. Visitors can enjoy a glass of wine or purchase them to take home.
