Ingelheimer Sonnenhang

Sun, Selz and super wines 

Not to be confused with the 1-hectare single vineyard "Ingelheimer Sonnenberg" in the middle of the city. The Sonnenhang is 88 hectares in size and is located in the extension of Ingelheim-Süd and on the Selz River. Sonnenhang and Sonnenberg are quasi-synonyms. This name comes from the generally favorable position towards the sun. Here, the Mainzer Berg slopes west-southwest toward the Selz Valley and allows optimal sun exposure. On limestone, loess and loam grow a variety of vines of rather strong style: Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. In the soil there are fossilized corals and snails.

Winery Huster

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

The philosophizers of our winery Our philosophy is to bottle wines with the characteristics that nature gives them. We use her impulses in their purest form and work in harmony with her. We make use of the sophisticated, harmonious vineyard ecosystem. We rely on biodiversity and counteract pests with beneficial insects, we strengthen the vine and promote the quality of the soil. We have been avoiding chemical-synthetic fertilizers and sprays for over 30 years. However, our attitude is by no means closed to innovations in viticulture - for us they are the key to more sustainability.

Tobias loves experimenting with new vines and has an extreme passion for the product he produces - it's not for nothing that our range includes around 40 wines.

Experience the Huster winery up close Experience us up close at moderated wine tastings (on request or regularly at “Husters Weintafel”) or taste wine with us in the yard during wine sales times. Enjoy sophisticated, regional dishes from Jutta's kitchen, work with us on an ideal concept for your company event or let yourself be pampered at your private celebration in a family atmosphere.

At the beginning of May we invite you to “Music in the Courtyard”. On the 2nd weekend in August every year, “Husters Hallenfest” takes place under the motto “4 days of celebration in the vineyards”. In December you will find us at the Ingelheim Christmas market.
