"Wir empfehlen einen Besuch Deutschlands ältester Winzergenossenschaft "
I was going to translate this as the 'oldest winegrowers' but I don't want it to sound as though they are the 'oldest people', who are winegrowers in Germany.

: is in all the dictionaries as well, although in separate entries, alt/älteste + Winzergenossenschaft and as Helen says, it all over the www. not really a difficult/"pro" level question imo.

At least that's how they are known in South Africa. I am living right in the centre of the Paarl wine region surrounded by mountains and vineyards.

BTW I must just go down to the cellar and get out a nice Bocksbeutel for my "Feierabend" - or should I nip over to Frank Dietrich instead - his WG is only 3 miles away from my home...
Diana, your explanation corresponds exactly with my experiences in the *Markgraeflerland*. Thank you for beeing such a passionate *barrellister* ;-)
Thus in my cooperative the shared work is only the wine-making and wine-seilling, not the wine-growing. But it is a cooperative of wine-growers, which is why it is called a "Winzergenossenschaft" It makes wine for wine-growers (who really should be called grape-growers).
