The S.A. Prüm winery in Wehlen on the Mosel, just east of Bernkastel-Kues, lies in the middle of one of Germany's most beautiful valleys. Just getting there is perhaps half the fun, thanks to the breathtaking scenery – charming villages, luxuriant gardens and the vineyards themselves, many perched at dazzling heights.
Family-owned S.A. Prüm is a leading producer in Germany's celebrated Mosel-Saar-Ruwer growing region, internationally acclaimed for its production of superb quality Riesling. Raimund Prüm, the founder's grandson, is lead winemaker and has managed the winery since 1971.
The Prüm family's rich and ancient history in the mid-Mosel dates back to 1156, and they have produced wine commercially for over 200 years. Today, the estate comprises 40 acres of vineyards, over 15 acres of which are located within the famed Wehlener Sonnenuhr (“sundial of Wehlen”) domain. Named for the historic sundial painted on an outcrop of slate by a Prüm ancestor back in 1842, the incredibly steep Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is a globally renowned source of what is arguably Germany's finest Riesling.

Hospitality is in the capable hands of Raimund's wife, Erika. During their stay, guests can enjoy activities ranging from hiking, biking, water sports and sightseeing to strolling through the vineyards and savoring fine wine and cuisine amidst the relaxing environs.
