With the vinotheque guide we accompany you on your short trip to the Rheingau.
No matter whether you want to go spontaneously or plan ahead: For every individual mood and every intention, there is guaranteed to be a suitable vinotheque. Here you can taste the wine before you buy it or just like that, get to know the winemaker and his philosophy personally, get expert advice at a wine tasting, celebrate with friends, colleagues or family, discover preferences and experience a lot on top of that. In this guide you will find venerable wineries behind historic castle and monastery walls. You will meet young winemakers who have founded a new generation of Riesling with courage, inventiveness and ambitious goals. You will read about winegrowing families who have been cultivating vines for generations, about Prädikat wineries that are on the hit lists of international wine critics, and about winemakers who have dedicated themselves to producing organic or vegan wines.
The smallest vinotheque in the Rheingau is represented, as is the oldest winery in Germany. All vinotheques offer regular fixed opening hours, pursue high quality standards, organize wine tastings and they do not oblige anyone to buy. Sounds uncomplicated, and it is.
