Frauenstein can look back on several centuries of wine history. Viticulture has been handed down here since the early Middle Ages and wine has been cultivated here since at least the end of the 12th century. The vineyard area covers 52 hectares, making it the second largest in Wiesbaden. The velvety Pinot Noir, whose quality is on a par with Assmannshausen's red wines, and the fruity, racy Rieslings were already enjoyed by the lords of Frauenstein Castle. To this day, the castle is a popular sight in the wine suburb. Many of the wine-growing estates have also been largely preserved in their original state and are well worth a visit.

Another special feature of Frauenstein is the European vineyard at the entrance to the village near the Grorother Hof, which documents the connection with the European wine-growing neighbors - with the grape varieties of all European countries.

Frauenstein is also known for its fruit growing, with a cultivation area of around 79 hectares, mainly because every year the wine village is transformed into a sea of blossom thanks to its many fruit trees.
