When the whole world smells of blossoms, you're either in love – or in Weyher. Because the grapes have begun to bloom ! The delicate scent envelops us and enchants us anew every year. This year, it's a little later than usual – the beginning of the year was cool. But this is actually our "normal" continental climate... as it was twenty years ago.

But no matter when the blossoms begin, the bees and bumblebees are thrilled. Every year, we receive a visit from a queen , who is placed in the vineyard with a small entourage of worker bees and her hive. For many years, good friends who are experienced beekeepers have been responsible for the royal arrival. The bees then only have to fall headfirst into the blossoms to find their nectar. A life of paradise, truly! If the bees are full of energy, they can also fly to the chestnut trees that bloom not far from the vineyards...

There are projects where you think, "This is a piece of cake." And then you get a rude awakening and the little piece of cake turns into a lump, even a millstone around your neck. That's what happened to us with our solar system.

It all started innocently enough sometime in 2022. We decided to move toward sustainable energy. We researched, discussed, and settled on a solar system. It had to be efficient, not significantly detract from the aesthetics, and, of course, ideally connected. To achieve optimal performance, we worked with experts to plan for every usable square centimeter of roof space. 60 kilowatts per hour was the stated goal, as our annual consumption at the winery currently amounts to almost 50,000 kilowatt hours (kWh), and the trend is rising.
