Officially ‘Weingut Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken’ but better known simply as ‘Zilliken’, this is one of the most famous and regarded wineries in Germany. It is run by Hans-Joachim ‘Hanno’ Zilliken with his wife Ruth, daughter Dorothy and her husband, representing the family’s 10th and 11th generations of winemakers. When you meet the family their passion for winemaking and their family’s heritage is overwhelming. They are very much hands-on, running the estate with just one full-time and two part-time workers.

The family welcome those who make an appointment in their tasting room. Completed in 2009 this was inspired by the winery itself with the impressive table and window frames made of German oak while the floor is a reminder of the slate in their vineyards.
