5 wine producers from the Winterthur region

Winterthur's wine tradition dates back to the 16th century. The diverse wines from the city of Winterthur, which are produced by Ruthishauser-DiVino , are ideal as a gift or for a cozy autumn evening at home. The fruity Pinot Noir, elegant Chardonnay or the refreshing Riesling Silvaner can be purchased directly from the Tourist Information at the main railway station.

The vines of the Trottengarten organic farm grow just below the charming Gallus Chapel in Oberstammheim. Visitors to this year's pleasure hike can undoubtedly confirm that Petra and Koni Langhart's wines are of excellent quality. The family business not only offers delicious wines, but also a wide range of tasty home-made products in their farm store.

Young, dynamic and innovative - away from monoculture for natural, high-quality wines. The Herter Wein team therefore consistently refrains from using pesticides, chemical fungicides and herbicides with the aim of keeping the soil alive and the vines healthy. Their characterful wines not only taste but also sound like this: the Sauvignon Blanc AOC called "RUFUS", the Pinot Cabernet "ADELHEID" or the Räuschling AOC "FERDINAND". If you prefer something fizzy, the "VÄTERCHEN FROST Vin Mousseux" is the right choice. They also distil fine schnapps ranging from pear, quince and mirabelle to cherry.

The idyllic Besson-Strasser winery is located in the picturesque surroundings of the majestic Rhine Falls in Laufen-Uhwiesen. This estate has been using biodynamic viticulture since 2004. The vines are not cared for with the help of weedkillers, synthetic fertilizers or artificial pesticides, but with the use of tea and plant preparations. This special approach is reflected in the excellent wines, including the red wine "Cholfirst Pinot Noir" and the "Merlot vom Rheinfall". The quality of the five enticing white wines, such as the Riesling, is also impressive.
