Step inside one of Baden-Württemberg's most magnificent and intact Cistercian monasteries, then descend to its vaulted cellars for a curated tasting of the estate's own Tauber Valley wines. A genuinely rare combination of Baroque grandeur and living viticulture.
What to expect
A monastery guide escorts you through the Romanesque basilica, the stunning Baroque marble hall, and the serene cloister garden, explaining 850 years of monastic life. You then move to the ancient barrel cellar for a seated tasting of three to four estate wines paired with regional charcuterie. The monastery sits in a tranquil Tauber Valley forest clearing just 10 km from the port — arriving by private car or taxi makes the transfer effortless.
Good to know
Kloster Bronnbach is about 15 minutes by taxi from the Wertheim dock. Book the wine tasting component directly with the monastery administration at least a week ahead. Cellar temperatures are cool year-round — bring a light layer.
