Rheinhessen

A unique mix - Rheinhessen has something for every taste, not least its wines. Young, ambitious wine makers in Germany's largest wine-making region are using a selection of grape varieties, each of which reflects the Rheinhessen "terroir". The wines range from an unpretentious, refreshing everyday tipple to great, internationally acclaimed vintages.
Of course, there is also a rich diversity of culture in Rheinhessen, with urban living in Mainz, Alzey and Worms as well as the quiet country life in its many Mediterranean-like wine villages. Culture is all around, in Rheinhessen's vaulted wine cellars, for example, or at jazz concerts in barns and art exhibitions in wine boutiques.
The range of walking and cycling trails through Rheinhessen hill country or Rheinhessen's "Switzerland" will appeal to sports enthusiasts. Why not call in for a drink at a traditional vintner's tavern or at a winery? It's as much a part of Rheinhessen as the sunshine.
