Weingut und Gaststätte Hof Nürnberg

About Hof Nürnberg

Hof Nürnberg is a former fortified manor from the 14th century, now operated as a winery and inn. The listed property lies at 197 m altitude amid the vineyards of the Rheingau in the Wiesbaden district of Frauenstein and is owned by the city of Wiesbaden. Since 1939, the Becker family has leased the estate, running a tavern there since 1949 and continuing the business today in its third generation under the leadership of Christof Becker. The offerings include wines grown on the estate, hearty home-style cuisine, and wine sales; the premises are barrier-free accessible. The estate, with its garden terrace overlooking the Rheingau and Rhine-Main region, is a destination for hikers, day-trippers, and families from the Wiesbaden region.
