Rheingau is the crown jewel among the German wine regions. Wineries in Rheingau took advantage of a whim of nature; this is because the Rheingau Mountains, a Taunus foothill running from east to west, stops the river and force it to change direction; thus, the Rhine bends and the Rheingau wine-growing region was created. Anyone who visits the wineries in Rheingau will see the historical centers of viticulture extending in front of them. This is underscored by Rheingauer's renowned hospitality and joie de vivre.
