"Besenwirtschaft" in Plieningen on Saturday, 17 November 2018

Dear members and guests,

please join us for a sociable and cozy outing to the southern part of Stuttgart. Enjoy a very special way of hospitality in Baden-Württemberg. We are delighted to take you to an authentic "Besenwirtschaft" operated by a local winegrower.

On Saturday, November 17, 2018 we will meet at 17:00 at the entrance of the Plieninger Most- und Weinbesen. The Unger Family will set up tables and chairs in their living room and serve their own wine and home cooked food from a small à la carte menu (individual payment).
The origin of the "Besenwirtschaft" ("broom winery") can be traced back to the first king of the Franks, Karl der Große (Charlemagne). The ruler was a patron of viticulture and according to legend he decreed in the late 8th century that the farmers were allowed to sell their wine directly to thirsty guests even without a license. To mark such a "Besenwirtschaft" they should attach a wreath of pine sprigs to the house. The tradition has remained until today, however the wreath was replaced by a broom. Today, the broom wineries are an integral part of the Württemberger wine culture and way of life.

Look out for the broom next to the entrance !
