Seminars and company events
Majer's Weinscheuer hosts seminars, company events, exhibitions and private celebrations in a wine barn in Schriesheim, on the Bergstrasse north of Heidelberg. It belongs to the Majer wine estate, which has made wine in the town since 1876. The venue does not publish a guest count, so give your numbers in your request and ask for a visit: the team shows organizers around in person and then prepares an individual proposal.
For companies, the program goes well beyond a meeting room. The barn runs cooking events and kitchen parties, wine tastings, walks through the vineyards, crime dinners, music evenings and dinners served in the dark. Any of these can close a working day or become the core of a team event. The estate has also produced virtual events for remote teams.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can marry outdoors in the vineyard above the town, with the vaulted cellar as the fallback when it rains. The reception then moves into the barn, where photos show long and round tables set under the exposed timber beams, with paper lanterns hung from the roof. The team advises couples from the first meeting and builds the wedding arrangement around them. Birthdays and other family celebrations are booked the same way.
Rooms and capacities
The venue has three settings. The Weinscheuer is a barn with old sandstone walls and wooden beams that was used for many years to produce the estate's wines. The Gewölbekeller is a vaulted cellar reached by a stone staircase, used for ceremonies and smaller gatherings. The vineyards serve for outdoor events, ceremonies and wine walks. A courtyard planted with vines lies outside the barn. No capacities are published for any of these spaces.
Catering
Food comes through the estate's network of partners, which includes caterers and confectioners, alongside photographers, DJs, and suppliers of gifts and fireworks. The house wines are served at events. Decorations and equipment from the venue can also be borrowed for parties held at home.
History and setting
Schriesheim is a wine town on the Bergstrasse, the band of vineyards along the western slopes of the Odenwald hills. The Majer estate dates from 1876. The old sandstone barn, long a place of production, now carries a cultural program of cabaret, theater, dinner shows and music, and the venue takes part in the Mathaisemarkt, the town's spring wine festival.
