Weingut Villa Hochdörffer is a gem set at the heart of the Südpfalz, a corner of Germany close to the French border that enjoys nothing more than bringing a dose of gourmet fun and hospitality into life’s daily tête-à-têtes. Working roughly 50 hectares of vines around the historic winegrowing village of Nussdorf, the Hochdörffer family has shown a fine touch for producing elegant, delicately fruity wines.
Or in the words of international wine journalist Paula Sidore: the wines pay testament to a “fine signature and subtlety” and are “notably concentrated on the essential.” And it’s a pleasure to explore them.
A Lifelong Love
Fine Pinot family wines and multifaceted Rieslings are the calling card of Villa Hochdörffer and the family’s grand love affair. The Hochdörffers are proud that this passion has spread beyond the borders of Germany, and can now be enjoyed by connoisseurs in the Czech Republic, Finland, Poland, and Japan as well.
DER FEINSCHMECKER magazine has for years counted Villa Hochdörffer among the finest estates in Germany, and its wines are recommended in Gault&Millau, Eichelmann, and VINUM as well. All of which has only inspired young winegrower David Hochdörffer to keep pushing higher and harder, translating the unique terroir of the Südpfalz ever more clearly in his wines.
A Feast for the Senses
Vacation amidst a sea of vines: The guest house at Villa Hochdörffer is more than just a place for the soul to soar. You’ll also have the chance to observe the daily work of a winegrower. Tastings, events, weddings: The great hall with its large sun terrace is the ideal location for larger groups.
Life’s beautiful moments are just a click away.
