Typical wine of the region around Bad Bellingen are Gutedel, Müller Thurgau, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris et Pinot Noire, Nobling, Riesling und Gewürztraminer and Rosé. Most popular with 70 % of the harvest is Gutedel, a grape species, originating from Egypt. In 1870 the duke Markgraf Karl-Friedrich von Baden brought those grapes from Lake Geneva to the region. June 2000 Markgräflerland and Switzerland posted a sign as the most important Gutedel growing regions and celebrated 5.000 years of the Gutedel species.

In Bad Bellingen wine was cultivated as early as the middelages. About 1150 the monastery of Muri came up with the eldest known German grape act (the original copy can been seen in our Oberrheinischen Bäder- Museum). In the act, farmers were allowed to keep one sixth of the grape juice.  Some of our bed and breakfast pensions will give you the opportunity to share the unique experience of the traditional grape harvest.
