joy of life in a glass
The Hummingbird: Our symbol for joie de vivre. In many mythologies, the hummingbird is considered a power animal for lightness, happiness, and joie de vivre. It represents the ability to effortlessly hover through life despite its dynamism and speed. It stands for the freedom to enjoy life in the here and now. For the reminder that even in dynamic times, there should always be room for joy, lightness, and pleasure. The hummingbird is one of the few creatures that can fly in all directions – forward, backward, sideways. It is precisely this agility, this infinite freedom, that inspires us in everything we do. Our wines bear the hummingbird as a logo because they stand for exactly that: experiencing joie de vivre, enjoying life in the here and now, and having the freedom to achieve all our dreams.
wine visionary Lukas JB Schmidt
Inspired by the lightness and joy of life embodied by the hummingbird, wine visionary Lukas J. B. Schmidt leads the family winery in its 11th generation. In Bullenheim, Bavaria, wines of outstanding quality are created, combining uncompromising craftsmanship with innovative design.

What joy of life tastes like for us
Lukas Schmidt Wines
LUKAS SCHMIDT wines represent our vision of creating more joy on our planet. By reducing yields, we harvest exceptionally flavorful grapes with the utmost precision and dedication. The unmistakable LUKAS SCHMIDT style unfolds into an outstanding explosion of flavor with a particularly fruity and spicy aroma spectrum and an invigorating drinkability.
Lukas Schmidt FIRST FLIGHT®
First Flight® wines represent our grand visions and the conviction that we can achieve anything in life. By utilizing exceptionally old vines with deep roots in the rock and reducing yields by more than 50%, we produce grapes with an exceptional concentration of flavor and minerals. The wines, some of which are aged in oak barrels, unfold in the glass like a cape gently dropped. A true revelation during deep conversations about grand visions and the next step.

Lukas Johannes Benedikt Schmidt
Wine visionary & winemaker in the 11th generation
Every generation has contributed to making us who we are today. Preserving the experience of almost half a millennium and infusing it with 21st-century visions is a privilege. At our family winery, it has always been a tradition that the owner is allowed to realize his own visions—hence the name LUKAS SCHMIDT for our wines.
At LUKAS SCHMIDT Wein, we view sustainability not as a trend, but as a deeply rooted attitude. For 11 generations, our family has cultivated vineyards in the heart of Franconia with passion and dedication – and with each generation, our sense of responsibility for our environment, our fellow human beings, and our future grows.
