White

Riesling

I like mature, spicy Rieslings that have also been aged in wooden barrels - especially when it's a bit cooler outside and the food is a bit more hearty. In summer, I like to drink fresh and light, aromatic white wines, such as a Gelber Muskateller or Sauvignon Blanc.

In fact, I prefer to go to the estate taverns or the wine taverns of local winegrowers. I can particularly recommend the Riesling Pier (opens in a new tab) in Hallgarten, the Sommer Strauße from the Dillmann winery (opens in a new tab) in Geisenheim or the Straußwirtschaft from the Mohr winery (opens in a new tab) in Lorch (delicious Turkish meze!).

The Fässchen in Walluf (opens in a new tab) - before and after the remodeling😊. The atmosphere there is almost Mediterranean - with a view of the water. A glass of Riesling and a pizza from the local pizzeria = the perfect summer evening!

Oh dear, that's really difficult for me to answer as I love our local wine festivals and actually go to a different one every weekend in summer. I particularly like the Rheingau Wine Week (opens in a new tab) because everyone comes together there. You meet all the winegrowers from the Rheingau in one place, it really has a family feel to it. But I also particularly like the many small wine festivals in the villages. If I had to name a wine festival, it would be the Hochheim Wine Festival (opens in a new tab) in Hochheim's old town and vineyards - something special every time. The Rheingau Gourmet Weeks (opens in a new tab) are also an excellent opportunity to get to know the local wineries and their new vintages while enjoying regional delicacies.

"My little bench" in the Frauenstein vineyards - it was set up there a few years ago by the Klepper winery on its vines. From there you have a wonderful view of the Frauenstein vineyards, the surrounding hills and forests.

Always in company and outside - together with my loved ones. And something delicious to snack on - perfect!
