Maikammer

Maikammer (Palatine German: Maikomma) is a municipality in the Südliche Weinstraße district, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Maikammer lies at elevations from 120 to 300 m at the foot of the Kalmit, the highest mountain in the Palatine Forest (673 m), in a landscape dominated by vineyards.

Due to its mild climate, not only do grapes grow here but also exotic fruit such as kiwis, lemons, almonds and sweet chestnuts.

The area is well known for the vineyards of Alsterweiler, Kappellenberg, Kirchenstück, Immengarten and Heiligenberg, which produce Müller-Thurgau and Riesling grapes.

The products made in Maikammer were sold throughout Europe, distribution extended as far east as Russia.
