Weingut Kloster Eberbach

Hessian State Winery Eberbach Monastery - Winegrowing for 900 Years

Eberbach Monastery has a long history as a winery. Founded in the Middle Ages by the Cistercians from Clairvaux, the monastery quickly advanced to become the order's most successful abbey on the right bank of the Rhine. The history of the monastery is long and every caesura that has been of relevance in Central Europe since the High Middle Ages has left its mark on the monastery - from the Peasants' Wars, to the Thirty Years' War, to Napoleon and the tragedies of the 20th century. Since 1945, the monastery has been owned by the state of Hesse, which has since managed the monastery's own vineyards and domains.
