In the picturesque nature reserve near Meersburg, surrounded by gently rolling vineyards is the family-run Aufricht Winery on Lake Constance which enjoys an exceptional secluded location. Here, where the view stretches from the shimmering Lake Constance to the majestic Alps, a unique symbiosis of nature, tradition, and wine culture unfolds.

The Aufricht Winery, whose history began almost 70 years ago, is a living testament to the passion and expertise passed down through generations. Josef Aufricht, the father and grandfather of the current winemaking family laid the foundation for a modern vineyard that quickly gained regional significance. Today, Robert Aufricht and his brother Manfred, who is a Chaîne Professional member, carry on this legacy with a harmonious blend of tried-and-true traditions and innovative ideas.

As part of Germany’s southernmost wine region, the Aufricht vines benefit from the unique climatic conditions of the pre-Alpine lake environment. The vineyards are among the highest-quality wine-growing areas north of the Alps in Europe, imparting a distinct character to the wines.

Visitors to the winery’s salesroom are greeted with a breathtaking panorama. The view spans the lake to the Alps, offering an immediate sense of the multifaceted nature of the winery’s award-winning wines.

A special highlight on the estate is the “Fräulein Seegucker” wine bar, which opens its glass doors during the summer months amidst the vineyards. Here, guests can savour the winery’s exquisite wines paired with homemade delicacies. From Lake Constance whitefish and asparagus salad to house-made ice cream, the culinary creations perfectly complement the wines and invite visitors to linger and relax. The stunning lake view completes the experience, making every visit extraordinary.

The Aufricht Winery is also a hub for cultural exchange and community. Regular events combine wine culture with other arts, such as art exhibitions in the vinothèque or open-air summer cinema evenings showcasing award-winning films – naturally paired with a glass of the estate’s wine.

Aufricht wines reflect the diversity and character of the region. From fresh white wines and full-bodied reds to sparkling wines, each creation embodies the terroir and craftsmanship of the winemaking family. The numerous awards highlight the exceptional quality of these wines.

More than just a producer of outstanding wines, the Aufricht Winery is a place where nature, culture, and enjoyment merge into a harmonious whole. Here, winemaking is not merely a craft but a philosophy of life - a philosophy that visitors can feel and experience in every aspect of the winery.
