The "Winzergenossenschaft Walporzheim eG", based in Bad Neuenahr in the German wine-growing region of Ahr, was founded in 1871 by six Walporzheim residents, making it the second oldest in Germany. A merger with the WG Mayschoß-Altenahr took place in 2009. The red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Frühburgunder, Blauer Portugieser, Domina, Regent and Dornfelder, as well as the white wine varieties Riesling, Müller-Thurgau and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) are cultivated in the single vineyard sites Alte Lay, Himmelchen, Kräuterberg and Pfaffenberg in Walporzheim. The wines are vinified and marketed under the name "Weinmanufaktur Walporzheim" in the winery in the municipality of Mayschoss. For those interested, guided tours are also organised on an educational wine-growing trail in the Walporzheim steep slopes.
