Groß-Winternheimer Bockstein

Army road, dry stone wall and Rieslings 

Just like Elsheim, Groß-Winternheim also has a single vineyard called Bockstein. This does not come as a surprise, as the two villages are only five kilometres apart, both by the Selz River and on the former army road. In the past, loads were carried on the back, jacked up (german: “aufgebockt”). Hence the name. Excellent Rieslings are produced here on loess, sand and clay marl. Lizards bask in the sun along the dry stone walls. The hiking trail Westerberg Hiwweltour leads directly along Groß-Winternheim. Along the river Selz, there are wonderful places for cycling.

Nina und Tobias Huster

Winery Huster

We are a purely family-run winery with a big heart for nature. We know each of our vines, get hands-on with every step of the process, and love to share our passion with our customers.

The Philosophy of Our Winery
Our philosophy is to bring wines into the bottle that reflect the character given by nature. We harness its impulses in their pure form and work in harmony with it. In doing so, we make use of the sophisticated and harmonious ecosystem of the vineyard. We focus on biodiversity and combat pests with beneficial organisms, we strengthen the vine, and promote soil quality. For over 30 years, we have refrained from using chemical-synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. However, our approach is by no means closed off to innovations in viticulture - they are the key to greater sustainability for us.

Tobias loves to experiment with new vines and has an extreme passion for the product he creates – it’s no coincidence that our range includes around 40 wines.

Experience the Huster Winery Up Close

Experience us up close at moderated wine tastings (upon request or regularly at “Huster’s Wine Table”) or join us during our wine sales hours in the courtyard. Enjoy refined, regional dishes from Jutta’s kitchen, collaborate with us to devise the perfect concept for your corporate event, or let yourself be pampered in a family atmosphere at your private celebration.

At the beginning of May, we invite you to “Music in the Courtyard.” Every year on the second weekend in August, the “Huster Hall Festival” takes place under the motto “4 Days of Celebration in the Vineyards.” In December, you will find us at the Ingelheim Christmas Market.
