Weingut Bihlmayer - Outstanding Vinothek in Württemberg
A truly special piece of the winery’s history is a 70-year-old sofa that once belonged to Fritz and Luise Bihlmayer, the founders of the estate. Today, carefully reupholstered, it has found a new home in the winery’s vinotheque in Löwenstein, nestled in the picturesque Weinsberg Valley, a small paradise in the heart of Württemberg.
The Bihlmayer family has designed the vinotheque with great attention to detail and a clear sense of style. The bright interior features sandstone-colored flooring, large windows, and elegant oak furnishings. Shelving, tables, and standing tables crafted from oak create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. At the center of the room stands an impressive four-meter table made from 400-year-old wooden beams that once formed part of a historic barn. Everything unnecessary has been deliberately left out, both inside the 80-square-meter vinotheque and on the spacious 120-square-meter rooftop terrace above. From there, guests can enjoy stunning views of Löwenstein’s old town, the upper Weinsberg Valley, and the renowned Löwensteiner Wohlfahrtsberg vineyard.
The modern and spacious winery garden also serves as a venue for a variety of events throughout the year. From April to November, the Open Wine Terrace takes place on the first Sunday of every month, featuring a wine bar, rotating food trucks, and a small tasting in the vinotheque. Sun umbrellas, deck chairs, and a glass of wine create the perfect setting for a relaxed afternoon. Visitors can also enjoy a wide range of wine experiences, from guided tastings and private vineyard tours to sponsorships of individual vines. The winery is equally well suited for private celebrations and special occasions. It is a place for everyone who wants to experience wine rather than simply drink it.
Since 1969, and now in its third generation, the Bihlmayer family has been producing wines on approximately 16 hectares of vineyards. Their portfolio reflects the diversity of the people who enjoy their wines: traditional regional classics, innovative PIWI varieties, expressive single-vineyard wines, and the popular “Weinschwestern” range all share one common trait: a strong connection to their origin. In Löwenstein, near Heilbronn, not only the vines and wines are deeply rooted, but also the family and its passion for winemaking.
The winery welcomes visitors during regular opening hours, when guests can taste and purchase wines and relax in the winery garden. Enquiries for private celebrations, wine tastings, corporate events, conferences, and weddings are welcome at any time.
