Southern Rhine Nature Experience 2025

Let the Winzerexpress take you on a tour through vineyards and right into the centre of Rüdesheim. Here, the little lanes are too narrow for our trusty vehicle, so you’ll explore the old town on foot. You’ll find one of Germany’s most well-known streets here: Drosselgasse. Lined with wine taverns and bars with outdoor seating, it offers 144 metres of pure enjoyment. You’ll have the opportunity to stop off here to learn how the traditional coffee speciality ‘Rüdesheim coffee’ is made – and you’ll be able to try it for yourself, of course.

Discover Rüdesheim in a special way by bike. Cycle along the Rhine and enjoy this beautiful landscape. The vineyards and the medieval Eberbach Monastery, where Umberto Eco's film ‘The Name of the Rose’ was shot, tower up next to you. Small alleyways invite you to linger. And that's exactly what we do over a typical Rüdesheim coffee.
