    In Meersburg there is documentary evidence that viticulture has been practiced since 1324. The historic buildings from the early 18th century and the vineyards were owned by the Prince-Bishops of Constance until 1802/1803. During the secularization, the winery fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden and became the first wine-growing domain in Germany as the Grand-Ducal-Badische Domainkellerei. After the First World War, the name was changed to Meersburg State Winery in 1919. The state winery owns locations in Meersburg through the previous owner, the Hochstift Konstanz, to whom the best vineyards were reserved as rulers. In addition to the Meersburg sites, there is one site each in Singen (Hohentwiel) and Gailingen am Hochrhein owned by the state winery, a total of 63 hectares of vineyards. The locations are characterized by the heat-storing and reflective effect of Lake Constance, as well as by the specially created soils, e.g. B. the volcanic subsoil on the Olgaberg. The vineyard in Meersburg also includes the vineyard of the Fürstenhäusle, a former property of the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, who honors the state winery with a wine of the same name.

      The walls and vineyards of the Meersburg State Winery have a tradition that goes back over 800 years. The imposing wine cellar with a view of the lake was built in the former city moat.

        In the course of the secularization of 1802/03 by Napoleon, the prince-bishop's winery fell to the young Grand Duchy of Baden and became the first wine-growing domain in Germany as the "Großherzoglich-Badische Domainkellerei". It was only after the Second World War that it was renamed the state winery. Today, the company belongs to the state of Baden-Württemberg and, as a state company, reports to the Ministry of Finance
