Delight from Nature The Wine Region of Middle Rhine

In addition to their culture, the Romans primarily brought wine to the region. The wine-growing area of Mittelrhein stretches from Bingen to Bonn over a length of 110 km. The picturesque Rhine Valley backdrop requires labor-intensive viticulture on the steep slopes due to the narrow, rugged rock formations. Thanks to the moderate climate, the Rhine Valley enjoys relatively many sunny days with pleasant temperatures. In eleven large vineyards and 111 individual sites, you will find about 85% white grape varieties. The wine production in Mittelrhein is dominated by small, private wineries.

The incomparable beauty of nature, the unique density of castles, the significance of the Rhine as a transport route and a constantly contested border, the tradition of viticulture and shipping have earned the region the designation of UNESCO World Heritage in 2002.
