All about wine

Steillhanglage am Neckar

Viniculture has been a tradition in the county of Ludwigsburg for centuries and so it's of great importance locally.

This is easy to see in the county's 192+ winegrowing enterprises, over 2,000 hectares of cultivated vineyard (the county thus has around 18% of the share of the Württemberg winegrowing area) and the 11 vintner cooperatives.

The numerous terrace slopes characterize the cultural landscape in the county of Ludwigsburg in a special way. They are a distinctive feature of local viticulture and produce excellent wines.

Over 60% of the total terrace slope areas in the administrative district of Stuttgart are located here.

With the extensive expert knowledge and high commitment of the vintners, cellars and cooperatives a large variety of high-quality wine is produced.

The best known grape varieties are Trollinger, Lemberger, Pinot Noir, Samtrot, Riesling and Silvaner.

The wine-growing industry in the county of Ludwigsburg can look to a large range of excellent producers who are known far beyond the county border for their top quality, creativity and the marketing of their products.

The secret of the excellent wine lies in the extensive shell limestone deposits across the landscape, which in turn offers many sheltered slopes facing the sun - and in the hard work of the Swabian vintners, whose experience has been handed down through the generations for many, many centuries.

Two important German wine routes, the "Württemberger Weinstrasse" and the "Weinstrasse Kraichgau-Stromberg", along which there is also a cycle path, cross the county, as do the "Württemberg Wine Hiking Trail" of the Schwäbischer Albverein and the "Württemberg Wine Cycle Path".
