Tauber valley wine country

From Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Wertheim am Main

The Tauber Valley wine country extends from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Wertheim am Main. Over a stretch of about 100 km the Tauber traverses this region in a northwesterly direction and is the continuous companion of vineyards in the charming surrounding river valley.

In the Tauber valley, about 1100 hectares are under cultivation by wine-growers and vine dressers. About 65 percent is planted with white wine types and 35 percent with red wine types.

Three wine-growing areas meet at the Tauber, two wine-growing zones and two federal states. The middle Tauber valley with the area around Lauda-Königshofen belongs to the winegrowing area of Baden, the Tauber Franconia area. This region is further distinguished by its qualification for filling high-quality and prestigious wines in the world-renowned Bocksbeutel bottle.
