Going out to eat in Rheinhessen

Throughout the region, a creative gastronomy scene has emerged, joyfully cooking and experimenting. It has as many facets as the vineyards of the wine-growing region. The easiest way to experience it is in the 'Straußwirtschaften' (seasonal wine taverns) and 'Gutsschänken' (estate taverns), where you can enjoy wine directly from the winemaker. They also offer delicious small dishes. Fine dining is also prepared in Rheinhessen, infused with local flair. Our regional products play a crucial role in this. Like the winemakers, fruit and vegetable growers also have a long tradition here. For many chefs, buying directly from these producers has long been a matter of course.

Summer cuisine in Rheinhessen

In summer, when the days are longest and the nights pleasantly warm, life in Rheinhessen unfolds right outside our doors amidst the vineyards and nature. Winemakers are consistently present in the vineyards now, requiring a lot of manual labor and delicate handling for the right measures. It's high season for the excellent wine festivals - they offer great excursion opportunities focusing on wine and indulgence during the summer months. Our chefs have moved their 'living rooms' to the terraces, presenting on their plates the best that summer has to offer. Menus are dominated by green vegetables and sweet berry creations.
