About Us

Neverland Vineyards captures the rebellious spirit of two brothers - Sebastian and Marcel Class - and their dream to create incredible journeys for the palate.

With vineyards nestled in the rolling hills of Rheinhessen - an area with one of the highest limestone concentrations in the region - the Class brothers represent the 11th generation of winemakers in their family. Inspired by the free spirit of Peter Pan and the mythical island of Neverland, they have been vinifying organic wines since 2013.

For Sebastian and Marcel, grapes are letters in a language that exists beyond a mother tongue and nationality. It is a language of harmony, tension, terroir, and elegance. This is how their award-winning wines are understood from Hamburg and Berlin to Copenhagen and Buenos Aires.

Unorthodox and unconventional, they not only vinificate Germany's renowned Riesling, but - more interestingly - are also one of the only German wineries to create singular prestige cuvées in collaboration with acclaimed sommeliers and Michelin-starred restaurant across country borders.

Sebastian Class

Sebastian is involved in the year's vineyard planning with an empathy for the selective hand-picking, the barrel fermenting and the final cuvées. He's often seen traveling between France and Malta outside of the harvest and bottling.

Favourite wine: 2020 Chardonnay Réserve M8

Marcel Class

Marcel takes care of the vines and the wine cellar. He is usually on the road in the winery and tries to prepare as best as possible to the respective weather conditions of the vintage in the vineyard, while giving the vines the opportunity to develop their own adaptations.

Julia has been in Vendersheim since 2008 and has been our haven of peace since day one. She supports us in the daily challenges in the office and takes care of events and our hotel guests at Hofgut Donnersberg.
