Baden, Germany Wineries & Vineyards

Baden is the southernmost and the third largest of Germany’s wine regions.

One of the most scenic areas in the country, the vineyards are set between the hills of the Black Forest and the Rhine River. The nine districts which make up the Baden regions have many soil types and support many grape varieties.

This area includes the upper Rhine, from the Swiss border to about Mannheim, and also part of the Neckar River and the shores of Lake Constance. Alsace is just on the other side of the Rhine River, but the wines bear the flavor of the land and the wines from the Baden region are unlike any others. Specialties like the fiery red wines produced in Kaiserstuhl's volcanic soil are unique to Baden...
