    WINE LIST IN WEINHAUS HENNINGER 

    Experience the Palatinate from its most enjoyable side

    The Weinhaus Henninger restaurant wine line with its selection of wines has always offered an insight into the best vineyards of the Palatinate. But now, after a long time of waiting, we are pleased to inform you that we have completely revised our wine offer. Numerous vineyards along the German Wine Route were visited to taste the finest wines. An extensive and well-assorted selection of wines was created from the different experiences. 

    To fully understand a wine, one must not only drink it, but also learn about the vineyard behind it. We have therefore published a lot of interesting information about the respective vineyards in our new list. 

    Take a look at our current* wine list now: WINE LIST May 2020

    * Please note that changes to our wine list may occur at short notice due to a change of vintage.

    We look forward to welcoming you!

    Warm regards,

    Your Weinhaus Henninger

Chronicle

According to first records, the Henningers settled in Kallstadt in the 15th century. In 1615, the stately estate of the winegrowing family was built in the style of a Franconian farm.

In 1855 Johannes Henninger II recognised the opportunity, in economically difficult times, to market the yield of his vineyards directly and set up an inn in the rooms of the main house.

Weinhaus Henninger became famous far beyond the borders of the Palatinate thanks to the talented cook and legendary landlady Luise Henninger (1871-1951). She turned the modest vineyard bar into the place to come for good food and warm hospitality.

She was also the one who rediscovered the long-forgotten dish of Saumagen (pig stomach) and turned the former commoner's food into a Palatinate delicacy that today cannot be missing from any menu. In 1957 Luise's grandson Walter Henninger took over the management of the wine house and shaped the destiny of the traditional Palatinate house for over 45 years. In 2003, Walter Henninger leased his guest house to the young restaurateur Franz Weber.

In November 2010 Jochen Lampert bought Weinhaus Henninger, which was completely renovated in 2012 and expanded into a beautiful, exclusive country hotel, with the plan to successfully run this gem, preserving the tradition in a new and fresh way.

The task was to continue the business without a transition period, to retain the fantastic team, to reorganise many things and to build up concepts without the guest noticing the difference.

And so Mr Jochen Lampert took over the fate of Weinhaus Henninger and is now at your disposal alongside our manager and hostess Mrs Rita Sauer.
