Vineyard & Villa Carefree

What began as an unusual idea has grown into a living landscape shaped by vision and curiosity. Alois Hartl, long known for his openness to new paths, brought the concept of a vineyard to life on the sunny southwest slope of Bad Griesbach‑Therme. What once seemed unlikely soon became tangible through dedication, patience and a deep connection to the land.

Today, the vineyard presents itself as a vibrant garden landscape where vines blend harmoniously with flower and vegetable beds, berry bushes and fruit trees. Lavender rows and sunflower fields add color and fragrance, creating a place where nature, creativity and passion meet. Walkers and visitors encounter not just a vineyard, but a carefully cultivated space designed to inspire and invite pause.

A special milestone was marked with the blessing of the vineyard and the hand‑carved statue of Saint Urban, patron saint of wine. At the very moment of the blessing, sunlight broke through the clouds while the bells of the Emmauskirche rang out, giving the ceremony a symbolic and deeply memorable character. What once seemed unexpected wine in Bad Griesbach has become a testament to courage, conviction and trust in new ideas.
