Baron Widmann Wine Estate & Winery

The Baron Widmann estate winery is situated in our historic family residence in the heart of Kurtatsch. In 1783, our ancestor Johann Mathias von Kager zu Mayregg und Entiklar acquired the noble residence. The oldest surviving part of the building dates back to the Gothic period and was substantially extended during the Renaissance. In 1708, a wing was added to the south, which was raised by a further two storeys in 1860. The last significant alteration took place in 1904.

It was not until 1905 that our branch of the family moved from Margreid to the estate in Kurtatsch. In 1954, our family acquired the Auhof estate in Entiklar from Baroness Salvadori.

For generations, alongside our other agricultural activities, we have devoted ourselves above all to viticulture.

In 1977, clearing work in our family's Nockerischer vineyard uncovered archaeological artefacts dating back to Roman times. During the extensive excavations that followed, fragments of an ancient grapevine were also unearthed. Based on coins discovered at the site, these remains were dated to around AD 300.
