Landesweingut Kloster Pforta

Landesweingut Kloster Pforta spans across multiple vineyards in the Saale-Unstrut region, producing wines from local grape varieties like White Riesling and White Burgundy.

The estate, founded in 1952, continues the winemaking tradition that began with Cistercian monks in 1138 when they established their monastery in this location.

The winery maintains traditional viticulture practices while participating in environmental initiatives such as the Life VineAdapt project to address climate change effects.

Visitors can explore the wine collection at the Vinothek located in the former Cistercian monastery's gatehouse, which also sells regional products like apple juice and honey.

The Köppelberg vineyard, first documented in 1147, preserves rare grape varieties from the monastery period, including Blue Silvaner and White Elbling.
