Staffelter Hof is a family run winery, distillery and guest house situated in the small town of Kröv.
The Staffelter Hof name, originally belonging to a wine-producing abbey,[1] goes as far back as 862 and is, therefore, one of the oldest companies in the world.
Lands belonging to the Carolingian dynasty (580–876 AD),[2] which spread as far as Kröv and beyond[3] home of the current winery, were donated to the abbey to work as a source of income.
[5] Each year schnaps is produced from trester or marc, hefe (yeast lees), mirabell, cherries, apples, pears and plums as well as a few home made liqueurs.
These wines span dry to sweet, sparkling (including hand remuaged traditional method Sekt), rose, white and red.
