Welcome to Rheingau – my home, my love, my life. Wether you are here for a day, a week or to stay, have been living here for a while or your entire life: here’s the list of things you must have done or seen in Rheingau. The list was sorted and put together by friends, fans and myself. You are welcome to suggest additions.
#1 visit Kloster Eberbach (the monastary Eberbach)
#2 have a glas of wine at a Weinprobierstand (those cute little winestands in huts or even a barrel, many right by the Rhine)
#3 walk, hike or use the gondola to go up to the monument Niederwalddenkmal in Rüdesheim
#4 go by ferry or ship on the Rhine river – no matter where, just be sure to come back!
#5 visit one or all of the many beautiful churches or cloisters, if possible including a wonderful concert
#6 have at least one wine-tasting at a vinery and be sure to meet the winemaker personally
#7 take a walk through a vineyard
#8 eat Spundekäs – it’s a special cream cheese variation
#9 visit the Rheingauer Schlemmerwoche – a week in April/May where almost all the winemakers open their doors an invite you to try their wines and eat delicious homemade foods
