Lounger with a view of Basel and the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

Grenzacher Roter is known beyond the town's borders. The sun-drenched red wine "Grenzacher Hornfelsen" grows every year on Germany's most south-western vineyard. The location in the south-west, the special soil and the breeze from the Burgundian Gate combined with the many hours of sunshine - all the best conditions for a very good red wine.
The Hornfelsen vineyard and other private winegrowers continue the Markgräfler tradition and maintain Grenzach-Wyhlen as a wine-growing town.
