Wusstet Ihr, dass wir so eine Art „United Nations“ in unserem 500-Seelen-Kaff in der Südpfalz haben? Wenn wir Touristen und Mitarbeitende gleichermaßen zählen, hatten wir in den letzten beiden Jahren über 50 Nationen bei uns auf dem Weingut zu Gast: Von der Chefköchin Matti aus Mexico über Yu aus Japan bis hin zu John aus Kenya … Kurz: Die große, weite Welt trifft sich im kleinen Weyher. Und darauf sind wir stolz.
Denn während das politische Umfeld um uns herum gefühlt ständig einseitiger und bigotter wird, sind wir bewusst international, bunt und vielseitig. Gerade als Arbeitgeber fühlen wir die Veranwortung für die Menschen um uns herum, ohne die wir als Weingut nicht existieren könnten. Die helfenden Hände unterstützen uns nicht nur...
Did you know that you can bathe in more than just water? You can also bathe in the forest. Yep, that's not a typo. Not bathing in the forest (you need a lake for that), but forest bathing, without any water. Head first into the green of the Palatinate Forest, enjoy nature, hear the branches crack, the birds chirp, the hiking boots crunch. Your eyes rest on green, green, green - or on the fantastic panorama, your heart expands with happiness, your circulation gets going. It has actually been scientifically proven that forest bathing lowers the stress hormone cortisol.
Many people are familiar with the term “ Slow Food ” – eating slowly and with pleasure. This is “ Slow Forest ” – enjoying the forest with pleasure and consideration.

In northern Germany there is a " cruel" custom called Easter fires . At temperatures just above zero, you are roasted from the front and frozen from the back while you desperately nibble on a bland piece of dough with a black crust that is glorified as stick bread.
Well, we in Weyher also have a cruel custom, but it's more fun: The Fermenters . Never heard of it?
It is a Palatinate tradition that is hundreds of years old: From Maundy Thursday until early Easter morning (when, as we know, Jesus was resurrected), all church bells are turned off. However, it is well known that the bell (apart from the sun) was the only way people could tell time back then. To ensure that the people of the Palatinate didn't run around completely out of their minds and timeless over the Easter holidays, the Gärrer came as a kind of bell replacement! They made noises with a wooden ratchet and called out the time loudly. They also announced when it was time to go to church and when people should go to pray.
