Ingrid and Thomas Behringer from the Behringer Winery and Restaurant in Abtswind are warm and proven hosts who seem to have been born with openness and kindness. Ingrid Behringer, who holds a degree in business administration, says of herself that she is a born Steigerwälderin who prefers to talk to guests rather than pursue such dry matters as accounting figures. But that's just the way it has to be, especially when, as is the case with the Behringers, they invest almost every decade in maintaining a large and spacious property and also dare to carry out renovation or new construction work again and again.
Ingrid Behringer is well aware of how important an appealing ambience is for the most beautiful pleasures of life. She is a cheese sommelier with enthusiasm, guest guide "Wine Experience Franconia" and "lecturer for wine and taste culture". The first taste must give pleasure and be promising, the Behringers say. For over 380 years the winegrower family has provided culinary pleasure with balanced wines and the best game from their own hunt. The Behringers therefore wanted the new building of a modern vinotheque to have a very special prelude. The catwalk to the wine that emerged in the end is an eye-catcher - not only when the Wiebelsberger Dachs (Silvaner wine) enters the show stage. The white wines from this site and from the Abtswinder Altenberg are certainly the first candidates for a glamorous appearance on the new catwalk for great wines and their lovers. After twenty meters (65 feet), the catwalk ends in an arcade that accompanies the vinotheque along the remaining length. The interior of the new building is almost spartan in design - the wines are simply in the foreground. The soundproof ceiling, which runs the length of the vinotheque and continues via the canopy over the catwalk into the house, is an admirable piece of carpentry from the region.
