The "chestnut bush" makes the hearts of all wine lovers beat faster.

In the romantic wine-growing village of Birkweiler you will find the most famous vineyard on the Southern Wine Route with its very different soil structures, the chestnut bush. And as the name suggests, in the mild climate, in addition to the wine, not only the chestnuts thrive, but also the delicate pink almond trees bloom.
