Weingut am Stein — Winery in Würzburg-Grombühl

Weingut am Stein lies literally in the heart of one of Germany's most famous vineyards: the Würzburger Stein, a steep, chalky slope above the river Main. The most striking building is the "WeinWerk", a glass cube clad in vertical wooden slats that looks different depending on the angle and the light. By day the cube gives a wide view over Würzburg, the UNESCO-listed Residenz, the Main valley and the surrounding vineyards; at night the illuminated façade stands out spectacularly against the dark sky above the city. Tastings, workshops and seminars take place here. Next to the WeinWerk is a historic stone cellar (carved into the rock, completed in 2015) where the Grosse Gewächse age in concrete eggs and amphorae: biodynamic winemaking as a philosophy, literally carved in stone. The restaurant REISERS (one Michelin star, named the best restaurant in Würzburg by Gault Millau) is leased to Michelin-starred chef Bernhard Reiser. Open Monday to Friday 10.00-18.00, Saturday 10.00-17.00 (January to March 10.00-14.00). Easy to combine with a visit to the Würzburg Residenz (UNESCO), the Festung Marienberg and the wine bars of Würzburg's Altstadt.
