i. Biography
Her work in wine starts with continuity: the family winery in Oberhallau, where the Baumanns have managed the estate for many years, and where vineyard and oenology care are joined to winemaking at Baumann Weingut. Beatrice Baumann’s practice is built on that framework of stewardship, precision, and daily attention to vineyard and cellar, with the estate functioning as both inheritance and responsibility.
The Path
Training at Babelsberg / Potsdam / Berlin gave Beatrice Baumann a base in process and precision. That education translated into a hands-on method shaped by discipline and attention to outcome as well as sequence. She went on to serve as winemaker and co-manager at Baumann Weingut in Oberhallau, Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, a role she held until 2023. The work in that period sat between family enterprise and professional winemaking, with each season asking for judgment, patience, and a steady hand.
The Work Today

In that span, the job holds the repetitive and the exacting together, with each stage shaped by care.
