House of the German Wine Route

The House of the German Wine Route near Bockenheim forms the northern entrance to the famous holiday route through one of the most traditional wine-growing regions in Germany. It was built in 1995 on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the German Wine Route and symbolically combines the elements of wine, enjoyment, and architecture. The building itself resembles a Roman city gate in its shape, emphasizing the historical connection to the region. At the same time, the construction harmoniously blends into the surrounding vineyard landscape with its natural materials.

Inside the house, visitors will find a wine shop, a restaurant offering regional cuisine, and an impressive view over the vineyards. The building also serves as a venue and cultural meeting place, where everything revolves around wine, culinary delights, and regional identity. Its proximity to the Palatinate Forest and numerous winemaker villages makes it an ideal starting point for discoveries along the Wine Route.

Enjoyment, Culture, and Views in One Place

The House of the German Wine Route is particularly popular because of its panorama: From the terrace, there is a wide view over the Rhine Plain, and on clear days, as far as the Odenwald. In addition to regularly held wine festivals and markets, the house also attracts visitors with themed evenings, wine tastings, and seasonal exhibitions.

The surrounding landscape invites you to stroll through the vineyards – or to take a cozy break during a drive in an open-top car. Whether enjoying a glass of Riesling or indulging in regional specialties: Here, the feeling of life in the Palatinate is palpable. In autumn, when the vines turn golden, it presents a particularly atmospheric picture.
