Stuttgart Wine Museum

Uhlbach is the place for those who know and love fine wines. The Viticulture Museum opened in 1979 in the former village wine press building, dating from 1907. On display is an extensive collection of objects from more than 750 years of local winegrowing tradition. A complete cooper's workshop gives an idea of work in the 18th and 19th centuries. Some exhibits even date back to the time of the Romans, such as drinking vessels and wine receptacles made of tin, clay and stoneware. There are also wooden barrels, certificates, a collection of corkscrews and a depiction of Pope Urban, the 16th-century patron saint for wine-growers. Text and pictures illustrate grape varieties, pest control, the harvest and vineyard consolidation. Open from April to October on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
