Stuttgart Wine Museum

About

The Stuttgart Wine Museum, located in the historic winegrowing village of Uhlbach, is dedicated to over 2,000 years of viticulture in the region. Housed in a beautifully restored half‑timbered wine press building, the museum traces the story of winemaking from Roman times to the present day. Its exhibitions include ancient drinking vessels, historic presses, cooper’s tools, and massive wooden barrels that illustrate the craft and culture of wine production. Visitors can also explore multimedia displays and video interviews with local vintners, offering insight into the challenges of cultivating vines on Stuttgart’s steep slopes. The museum highlights both the regional traditions of Swabian winemaking and the global context of viticulture, showing how Stuttgart has long been connected to wider wine cultures. A special feature of the museum is its vinothek, where guests can taste and purchase wines from Stuttgart’s vineyards, making the experience both educational and sensory. Surrounded by picturesque vineyards, the museum is not only a cultural attraction but also a starting point for wine walks through the Neckar valley.
