Würzburger Stein Vineyard
Würzburger Stein
One of Germany's most famous vineyards, the source of the Stein wine Goethe loved. A wine trail offers views over the city.
The Stein vineyard lies on the sunny slope north of the old town, covering about 85 hectares, and is famous for its Silvaner and Riesling. Goethe ordered large quantities of its wine. The Juliusspital, the Bürgerspital and the state winery all own land here. Walking the Stein Wine Trail through the vineyards takes about 1 to 2 hours and offers views over the Main and the city. The Stein winery on the hillside has an open-air wine terrace, open in summer. From the train station, it takes about 20 minutes on foot to reach the foot of the hill.
