Totally and completely amazing experience. Thank you for an amazing event, with 9 courses that kept changing and kept on blowing me away with the tastes. And with a full wine menu consisting on almost entirely white whines, that was so different and so well suited for each coarse. I will take a big detour to go here, and maybe even travel just for this!😊

We organised our Wedding celebration at Winzerhof Stahl in July 2023 - it short, it was fantastic and magical. The venue itself is really beautiful, the food & wine was wonderful, the staff were friendly and helpful; all the guests really enjoyed the occasion and we partied until the early morning!

The success of the event is really down to the hospitality, kindness and thoughtfulness of Christian (the owner). Although we had never met in person until that weekend, he had called me (long distance call) within 5mins of my email enquiry on a Sunday! Throughout the planning process, Christian has been responsive and friendly in our emails, WhatsApps and phone correspondance where he seamlessly led us through the planning process.

For any other couples out there looking to host an Event at Winzerhof Stahl, but are overseas.. do not worry, I have high confidence that Christian will look after you very well.

PS. We had the delight to be able to also try out Winzerhof Stahl's fine dining - tasting menu and wine pairing, and it was fantastic. What was also great, was the selection of non-alcoholic wines also available to the guests.

Some highlights:
1. The Location - Winzerhof Stahl is beautiful and intimate location in a small town, the town itself has a really lovely vibe, even more so than the other nearby villages.
2. We hosted our Ceremony offsite, at the nearby Winzerhof Stahl Vineyards, a beautiful location overlooking the valley - Christian helped to arrive Shuttles to drive the guests to and from the location
3. Food and Drink of various varieties throughout the day, even after midnight!
4. The afternoon was hosted in the beautiful Winery Courtyard
5. 4 Course Dinner in the Restaurant included a "buffet-style" live cooking station for the Main Course (the food was wonderful; all the guests were extremely full and happy)
6. We partied past 2am; shuttles were available until every guest was safely home

Thank you again Winzerhof Stahl Staff and Christian for being apart of our wedding and making it so memorable!
