Paulinenhof winery in Selzen
The Paulinenhof winery in Selzen is one of those places where nature and domestic sphere blend perfectly. The building of the winery seamlessly transitions into the garden. In fact, the garden has been conceived as a green living room. Visitors can relax in the lush green vegetation and enjoy a glass of wine surrounded by nature. After all – wine is part of the natural world as well.
The garden provides a sanctuary for humans, plants and insects. Its plants and herbs are carefully selected by their virtue of sustainability and resilience. Many insect-friendly plants provide a rich selection of flowers for bees and flees. The selected herbs and perennials are resistant to drought and heat and provide a rich summer vegetation with little watering required.
