Winery Kilianshof

Our winery Kilianshof is located on the outskirts of Bodenheim, about 10 km south of Mainz. Spoiled by the mild climate of Rheinhessen, 9 hectares are cultivated. The different soils, such as fertile loess, calcareous loam and mineral Tonmergel, provide optimal conditions for characterful, versatile wines. Simply typical for Rheinhessen!
Our ancestor Simon Josef Kilian was it who named the winery. The Kilianshof was originally a typical mixed farm with viticulture, livestock and agriculture. However, Heinz, a senior partner, recognized the opportunities and creativity of viticulture early on and devoted himself to it with consistency and passion since the 1970s.
After completing his studies in viticulture at the University of Applied Sciences in Geisenheim, son Stephan and his wife Melanie have been managing the family business since 2006. Both in the past and today, everything is a family matter. For the perfect wine, we pull together and work hand in hand.

On the estate only German is spoken.

Bodenheimer Mönchspfad

Bodenheimer Mönchspfad (Bodenheim Monk’s path)

St. Alban and the delicious Silvaner

St. Alban's was one of the oldest and most important churches in Mainz, "a second Mainz Cathedral", states the Institute for Historical Regional Studies at the University of Mainz. The history of the church dates back to late Roman times. It was burnt down in 1552 and the monastery was closed in 1802. But some historical references - like in the naming of the site "Bodenheimer Mönchspfad" - remain. The St. Albans monastery owned land there. Today, a wide variety of grape varieties grow on fertile loess loam, including delicious Silvaner. Bodenheim is part of the RheinTerrassenWeg,a hiking trail parallel to the river Rhein.

Bodenheimer Hoch

Bodenheim High (High of Bodenheim)

Upwards towards pleasure

Not flat, not hilly, not very steep, but still at a good height: here the vines grow on a slope with a gradient of up to 35 percent. A high plateau at the gates of Mainz! The site was first mentioned in a document in 1629 with the name "auf der Höhe" (engl. On the height). Riesling and Pinot Blanc thrive in loess-loam clay soil, just as well as Pinot Noir and other new red wine varieties. Bodenheim is part of the RheinTerrassenWeg, a hiking trail parallel to the river Rhein. The Rheinhessen RheinRadweg, a bicycle trail, also passes not far from Bodenheim.
