Weingut Karl Schön

Spätburgunder and Riesling from Assmannshausen, since 1752.

The Schön family has been making wine in Assmannshausen since 1752. Around five hectares of vineyards belong to the estate, in Assmannshausen and Rüdesheim, many of them steep slopes above the Rhine. The family tends part of them itself; the rest is leased out.

The wines are pressed in the cellar beneath the hotel. Since July 2026 Wiebke and Robin have run the hotel, while the estate remains with Karl Schön – and his wines stay in the house.

Made the classic way
