Rhine-Hesse is Germany‘s largest wine region - a landscape dominated by vines as far as the eye can see, and across which the majestic Rhine River has carved a path over millennia. Vintners produce modern, dynamic wines here, as well as the traditional opulent and highly complex premium products with international renown. Wine taverns and restaurants beckon with premium-quality regional cuisine, enjoyed in wonderful seating areas, surrounded by exciting architecture in historical surroundings or contemporary structures. Explore the history of Rhine-Hesse and experience the culture and city life of Mainz or Worms. Discover the stunning beauty of nature at guided tours of public gardens and on cycle trips across the wine region.
In a region as fertile as Rheinhessen, the fruits of the Earth are a main focus of life. Rheinhessen is also known as the land of gardens and herbs, which can be experienced in many unique ways: There are wild herb hikes and guided tours of richly blossoming gardens. New hiking trails are planned to discover Germany's largest wine region by foot.

In our next video, Martin Seidler rhapsodises about the view of the Roter Hang near Nierstein. Its perfect location right next to the Rhine combined with the fine minerality of the red slate produces unbelievably powerful wines. But it is not only the outstanding terroir that influences the taste, the skills of the experienced winemakers are also critical to the quality of a wine. Tasting the wines at the estate itself, or even in the middle of a sea of Rhine-Hesse vines courtesy of a converted vintage van, is an unforgettable taste experience.
