The winery is located in the city of Würzburg (Maindreieick area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. The traditional Staatlicher Hofkeller was founded in 1128, making it one of the oldest wineries in Germany and Europe. It has been owned by the ruling power without interruption since the 12th century. These were the Bishops of Würzburg, who were also Dukes of Franconia, from 1814 the Bavarian royal family under the name Königlich Bayerischer Hofkeller (with an interlude by Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tuscany from 1806 to 1814) and finally from 1918 the Free State of Bavaria under the name Staatlicher Hofkeller Würzburg.
