Rebland vineyards and Hohenbaden castle

From central Baden-Baden it’s a 12‑minute run along the B500 and L84 to Neuweier’s slopes, where south‑facing loess and weathered sandstone terraces rise to 220–280 m. The classified sites of Varnhalt and Mauerberg, documented since the 1500s, are prime for riesling rooted in slate veins. To the north stands Yburg; below, the Oos valley; above, the ruins of Hohenbaden, seat of the Margraves of Baden until 1479. A half‑day that ties geology, microclimate and history together, with a glass in hand and a wide horizon.

Logistics are effortless: you taste, your driver handles the road. Hotel pickup in Lichtental or near the Caracalla Spa, a Mercedes at your disposal, and a flexible pace. Start with a family estate in Neuweier to compare Grosses Gewächs riesling and hillside spätburgunder, then wind up to Old Castle Hohenbaden for ramparts and viewpoints. In Baden-Baden with a dedicated chauffeur, you glide between cool cellars and airy ruins without parking worries or the short hops between Neuweier (6 km) and the castle (4.5 km).
