Specialist consulting for cellar management and technology

Thinking of Lower Franconia, one associates it with terms like Frankenwein, Bocksbeutel or the typical regional type of wine, the Silvaner. These terms indelibly belong to the Lower Franconian landscape and its people. Poets have immortalised Franconia’s wine in verse, composers have praised it – and everybody drank it.

The Bezirk of Lower Franconia is committed to promoting and supporting Franconian viticulture.
