Wine Tasting Tours in Rheinhessen

Wine tastings and tours in Rheinhessen are available all year round, but it is better to avoid December (except for the Christmas holidays) because of the humidity which is too high, and January when everybody is busy with the preparations for the upcoming festival in February!
The busiest month for tourism in Rheinhessen, Germany is February, followed by March and August. Those willing to go for wine tastings and tours in Rheinhessen at these times will likely find it the least expensive month. Spring and fall are the wine seasons and summer has very comfortable weather. June and August are the fairly slow seasons for tourism in Rheinhessen, so lodging and other accommodations may cost slightly less.

Apart from wine, the Rheinhessen region offers many choices for amazing vacations.
Mainz is the best place to start and to have as a starting point for three major reasons: It was good enough for the Romans, a city steeped in history and culture, it’s the Great Wine Capital of Germany and has an abundance of farm to table food and because the city knows how to party!
Worms is the city where Lutheranism started. There are lots of beautiful sights to discover in Worms: the Romanesque Cathedral, Europe’s oldest Jewish cemetery, the synagogue in the old town.
Finish your tour of Rheinhessen with a visit to Alzey, named for the fiddler in the legend “Song of the Nibelung”. Alzey has everything you expect from an ancient German village, including its own fish market, streets of perfectly preserved half-timbered houses, and a Renaissance-era town hall!

Here are some wine suggestions you should taste in Rheinhessen:
Silvaner, when it is matured it gets a rich flavor. It’s a quite creamy grape but because it’s grown in limestone ground you do have a mineral taste.
Dry Riesling with pronounced acidity and aromas of citrus fruits and smoke-tinged minerality, typically more "masculine" than its equivalent from the Mosel.
Dornfelder, this unique wine is almost jet-black, with a dense and tart palate showing flavors of berry and blackberry jam, dry and easy to drink.

The magnificent views from their vineyards in Rheinhessen can leave the visitor speechless, but this is only one of the too many experiences a wine lover can enjoy. A journey through wine experience in Rheinhessen starting from a guided tour through the vineyards and continuing in the cellars by the winemakers will make you feel the passion and the whole winemaking process from the soil all the way to bottling.
