This year, unfortunately, we had to break with the long tradition of holding the celebration with a previous general meeting in Harxheim at Christine Bernhard’s house; unfortunately the property is no longer available to us. The presidents have found a wonderful new location for this, the farmer’s café Zum Fruchtspeicher in Sippersfeld. The journey was

It is done once again. The 2024 harvest has come. Thanks to the weather gods, we only got a little wet. Many thanks to all the helpers who contributed to the success of this day! See you next time in 2025! The result is impressive: approx. 1300l Pinot Blanc with 98 degrees Oechsle and approx.

There were two premieres at the August work assignment this year! On the one hand, the excellently prepared Wingert feast, as always, was eaten directly in front of the kitchen stove under the beautiful, shady chestnut tree, and on the other hand, our “cook” Kirsten held a first cooking course for members! As always, the

In July 24, the time had finally come! Our new Schnegge member Tobias Robelek (in the picture in the middle with a light-colored sweater), industrial mechanic at Südzucker, was accepted as a new member of the association in an extraordinary general meeting. We are not only pleased that the number of members has now reached

… remind you that our vineyard, including the château, is our private property! We are happy to tolerate guests who don’t get rowdy and take their rubbish back with them. Unfortunately, this is increasingly not the case! It is a great pity that some black sheep (or rather “non-socially-minded” people) disfigure our jewel!
The first work assignment in 2024 took place without snow. As always, the Schneggen did their best to prune the vines, not without the usual excellent food from the vineyard kitchen provided by Kirsten. Our amateur photographer Gerd N. then took some interesting snapshots after the snowfall in January, a small selection of which can

Like every “normal” year, the Schneggen ended their general meeting with a festive Christmas menu. Once all the main points had been clarified and the most important decisions had been made, the cosy part of the evening could begin together with the wives. We were able to officially introduce our new member Renato and “candidate”

Due to the worrying condition of the red grapes, it was decided to split this year’s harvest in half. A short-term appointment ensured that the red grapes could not shrink any further and instead ended up in the mash. 10 days later, on the “official” harvest date, the remaining light grapes were harvested. It was

What’s blowing on the flagpole then? After a super great day at work and barbecue, the flag was taken down and our find was pulled up from the vineyard.
