Piesport (2200 inhabitants) is worlds famous for its wine. The peak unit (Grand Cru) ‘Piesporter Goldtröpfchen’ is known amongst wine conoisseurs as one of the world’s best Riesling units. The Romans already knew this 2000 years ago, when setteling in this area and growing their wine. Today you can visit the roman wine cellar in Piesport and each October there is a big festival, where the big roman press is started up and wine is made in the roman way. The Romans were followed by the majestic monasteries and landlords of the medieval times. Their old vineyards still make up the picture of Piesport. Our family has operated a vineyard, which is considered one of Germany’s best today, in Piesport since 1337. Piesport features all neccessary shopping facilities and a broad offer of wine taverns, cafés and restaurants and makes an ideal origin for multiple activities (water sports, hiking, cycling etc.).
