Mayschoss-Altenahr Winery – Crafting Ahr Valley Wines for Over 150 Years

Located in the picturesque Ahr Valley, the Mayschoss-Altenahr Winery is renowned for its exquisite wines, particularly its signature red wines made from the region's beloved Pinot Noir grape.

This cooperative winery is a testament to the community's dedication to producing world-class wines from their exceptional vineyards.

A Rich History of Cooperation

Founded in 1868 by 18 passionate winegrowers, Mayschoss-Altenahr Winery has a rich history. Under the leadership of Nikolaus Näkel, the cooperative flourished, celebrating its centenary in 1968 with around 240 members. In the late 20th century, it merged with Winzergenossenschaft Altenahr, expanding to 330 members. A further merger in 2009 with the Walporzheim cooperative brought the total to 444 members. Today, the winery cultivates grapes across 150 hectares, producing award-winning red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.

Winery Facilities and Wine Offerings

With a strong commitment to traditional viticulture, the Mayschoss-Altenahr Winery produces a variety of wines. While Pinot Noir remains the star, other varieties like Pinot Madeleine, Domina, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Müller-Thurgau are also cultivated. The winery's cellars can hold up to 250,000 liters in wooden barrels and 1.8 million liters in stainless steel tanks, ensuring optimal aging conditions for their wines.

The estate features charming vaulted cellars and two well-appointed wine shops, where knowledgeable staff guide visitors through wine tasting experiences. Guests can purchase wines, gourmet gifts, and unique gift sets during their visit.

Please note that the winery is currently unable to host tastings and tours.
