Dromersheimer Klosterweg

Also known as:
Binger Klosterweg

Peace cross, fruit trees and heat-loving vines

This single vineyard is located east of Bingen-Dromersheim, on the western flank of the Jakobsberg.

At the top of the mountain: a pilgrimage monastery with a history dating back over 300 years and still inhabited by monks. The Klosterweg is a direct pedestrian link between the village and the monastery. Hikers and mountain bikers will find beautiful resting places with a view, including one stop at the peace cross. Fruit trees flank the paths. The name of the single vineyard was first coined in 1951 as a catchy collective term. Heavy loam and clay soils offer ideal conditions for heat-loving vines such as Chardonnay or Scheurebe.
