Germany's highest vineyard is located on the southern slopes of the Hohentwiel. The vines grow at altitudes of up to 560 metres, benefiting from a plentiful supply of minerals due to the region's volcanic past. This provides an ideal environment for producing high-quality wines.
The winery "Staatsweingut Meersburg" on the Olgaberg and the winery "Vollmayer" on the Elisabethenberg both take advantage of this. A wide variety of grapes thrive on around 22 hectares of land in total, including Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, which impress with their mild acidity and fine, fruity notes.
