Enjoy wine tours in Rheingau – Wine, Abbeys and Castles
Rheingau is a textbook wine region with a wonderful blend of historic villages, ancient castles and abbeys, and a lively wine culture. Moving east to west along the northern bank of the Rhine River, the Rheingau progresses from rolling hills to steep rocks eventually marking the entrance of the Rhine River Gorges.
Rheingau is amongst the smaller wine regions in Germany, yet it features world renowned wineries such as Leitz, Breuer, Johannisberg, Wegeler and many more. Don’t miss to stop in Rüdesheim, the most famous of all Rheingau wine townships – but also slightly less famous Eltville offers a wonderful visiting experience.
The Rheingau wine region sits at 30 minutes west of Frankfurt, just north of Mainz, and lends itself perfectly to a day tour at the beginning or at the end of your wine discoveries in Germany.
Our Rheingau wine tours are typically scheduled as join-in small group tours on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – leaving from Mainz at 10.00 am with a return at approx 4.00 pm. To find tours for a particular date, please refer to the wine tour calendar.
