Dating to 1211, Schloss Vollrads is a wine estate in Germany — 70 hectares of Rheingau Riesling surrounding a medieval moated tower — with event spaces from a 17th-century gold-leather salon to the Schlosshof courtyard. The venue can accommodate up to 100 guests for your wedding celebration.
First mentioned in records from 1211, Schloss Vollrads is one of Germany's oldest continuously operated wine estates — a fact that becomes viscerally real when you stand in the Ledertapetenzimmer, a 17th-century salon lined with original gold leather wallpaper that has witnessed more wine-country gatherings than memory can account for. The moated medieval tower that forms the estate's centrepiece anchors 70 hectares of Rheingau Riesling vines, and the complex of halls and courtyards that has grown around it provides a naturally varied geography for a wedding day: arrival drinks in the Privatgarten, dinner in the Schlosshalle or the atmospheric Gartensaal, and a wine list built around the estate's own Riesling.
Head chef Alexander Ehrgott leads the Gutsrestaurant team, and the kitchen's commitment to the estate's own wines shapes menus that feel honestly rooted in the Rheingau rather than generic catering. Civil ceremonies are available on-site, and the combination of a grand private garden, a historic courtyard, and that singular leather-wallpapered salon gives creative event planners more than enough to compose a day of genuine originality. The estate is open year-round, and individual guests can taste in the wine shop, while groups of twelve or more can book private tastings at the manor house or the new wine cellar, making it an equally strong choice for a wine-forward pre-wedding weekend. There is no overnight accommodation on site; guests stay in nearby hotels.
