"BREAKING NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA": At the announcement of `THE WORLD ́S 50 BEST VINEYARDS 2025 ́ Schloss Johannisberg was voted number 2 in the whole world - and at the same time number 1 in Europe. This award is a great honor for us and an important affirmation of our work.
The World's 50 Best Vineyards was revealed at a live awards ceremony in Margaret River, Western Australia on 19 November 2025.
Schloss Johannisberg: The story of winemaking at Germany's Schloss Johannisberg began in 817 at the planting of its first vines. In 1720, it became the world's first dedicated riesling vineyard, cementing its place as a landmark location in vinicultural history. Today, you can tour its original abbey's 900-year-old vaults, home to more than 25,000 bottles.
The World's 50 Best Vineyards
Created to recognise the very best vineyard experiences on the planet and celebrate the incredible teams behind every establishment, The World's 50 Best Vineyards list is compiled from the votes of the more than 700 global wine experts. Each voter is asked to submit seven nominations in order of preference for their very best vineyard and winery experiences during the voting timeframe.
What constitutes 'best' is left to the judgement of these trusted and
well-travelled experts. There is no pre-determined check-list of
criteria, apart from the stipulation that the vineyard must be open to
the general public, and voters are encouraged to cast votes based on the
overall experience offered to visitors, including tours, tastings,
hospitality, architecture, food and the surrounding environment – rather
than solely on wine quality or where the grapes are grown.
To
summarise their delight at the vineyard's newly-won accolade, Alex Vik
says: "Winning this award was a stamp of approval. It's one thing for me
to say ‘You must come to Chile and to Vik,’ but when 50 Best says it,
you know you have to come!"
