In the rolling hills of Iphofen, where vineyards have shaped the landscape for centuries, Andi Weigand is redefining what it means to make wine in Germany. With youthful energy and a dauntless spirit, he has brought natural traditions back to life while charting a progressive path forward. 

A second-generation winemaker, Andi took over his father’s estate in 2015. His father had only begun making wine in 1990, and by the time he handed over the vineyards and cellar, Andi was ready to transform the family business. Within two years, the winery was certified organic, and under Andi’s leadership, Weingut Weigand is now regarded as one of the most forward-thinking estates in Germany’s Franken region.
