The town between Rhine and Lahn

Koblenz, Loreley, Bingen, Rüdesheim or Cochem are only a jump away.
Discover the romantic Middle Rhine valley which does not belong to the UNSECO World Heritage by accident.

The ancient Romans already started to grow wine in Rhineland-Palatinate. They knew what is good.
This tradition luckily endured until today.
On the sun spoiled steep slopes mostly grow Riesling, followed by Müller-Thurgau, Kerner, Burgundy / Pinot Noir, Dornfelder and Portuguese.
Riesling from the well known wineries Weingart and Didinger (Bopparder Hamm) as well as Ratzenberger and Toni Jost (Bacharach) is a must for everyone who enjoys wine.
