The Van Volxem winery, located in the historic center of Wiltingen on the Saar, is a place with a deep history. Its vineyards, which are among the oldest steep slopes, date back to Roman times. The estate has a rich tradition that is continued today through modernity and innovation.
The estate dates back to a Roman villa complex, fragments of which are still visible on the site today. Built by the Romans in the 3rd century, it was rediscovered and valued by monks from the 11th century onwards. From the 17th century onwards, the estate was managed by the Jesuit order as a monastery winery.
The rise under Gustav van Volxem
After the French Revolution, the property came into the possession of Gustav van Volxem, a brewer who had immigrated from Brussels. He recognized the potential of the estate's privileged locations and made it one of the most renowned wineries in the empire. Van Volxem's visionary work led to the international recognition of Saar wines.
In 2000, Roman Niewodniczanski took over the farm and restored it in accordance with monument preservation requirements. Since 2022, the team has been strengthened by cellar master Christoph Friedrich and administrator Lukas Becker. With the new factory, Van Volxem is building on the tradition and innovation of the last centuries and stands for quality and luxury in the world of wine.
