About Zumstein

Zumstein has anchored Bad Dürkheim since 1860, working from a historic rock cellar that extends nearly 100 meters into the earth. Louis shapes the program across Riesling, Chardonnay, Spätburgunder, Cabernet Sauvignon, Scheurebe, Sauvignon Blanc, and Donauriesling. Cellar tours pair five wines with the Felsenkeller. The 2024er Dükheimer Spielberg Riesling and Leistadter Kalkofen Chardonnay are in the current release, while older vintages like the 2015 Spätburgunder and 2014/15 Gottlobstein Cabernet Sauvignon are also produced. Tours run at a flat €150 for up to six persons, €25 per person beyond.
