Kloster Eberbach Wine Shop

Highlight • Historical Site

Unfortunately, I don't recommend it because it's far too expensive and fancy.
No, you buy wine from the winemaker!

If you want to get to know the Rheingau, you should visit Eltville rather than Rüdesheim.
We recommend treating yourself to a Riesling at the wine tasting stand (on the Promenade) and gazing at the Rhine, lost in thought.

Eltville Castle (Eltville Fortress)

Highlight • Castle

The electoral castle with its official garden, the romantic courtyard, the moat and the idyllic rose gardens is worth seeing and should not be missed. In general, the rose town of Eltville is worth a visit.

Towpath on the Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

The towpath is easy to cycle along, but it is too busy on weekends and public holidays. You should also find out beforehand whether there is currently high water. If so, it will flood quickly.

September 20, 2023,..wieder mal das "alte" Bike rausgeholt.

...since the beginning of the grape harvest the air has been full of fruit flies. I'm just thinking about how many people who don't get caught in their teeth can use flies as a substitute for a full meal 😏

May 1, 2025,Schlemmertour durch den Rheingau 🍷🌸🚴‍♀️

It's Rheingau Gourmet Weeks, and we're taking advantage of the wonderfully beautiful holiday for a relaxing gourmet tour through the Rheingau. After a delicious winemaker's breakfast, we set off on a discovery tour through the vineyards and along the Rhine promenade.

Sampling and rediscovering regional wines and cuisine is the motto, while enjoying plenty of scenery.
