Your private driver will take you from Frankfurt to the iconic Castle and Winery Johannisberg, where you enjoy an interesting tour and a delightful wine tasting.
Wine has been cultivated at Schloss Johannisberg for 1200 years, exclusively Riesling since 1720. This is the birthplace of one of the oldest and noblest grape varieties in the world. The long history of Schloss Johannisberg brims with passion, responsibility and pride allowing the production of outstanding Riesling and inspiring people to make it.
Whether on a relaxed tour around the palace with a breathtaking view of the Rheingau, or an enjoyable wine tasting in the historic Schloss cellar. Experience wine culture at the world’s first Riesling winery!
Nice to know: There is a forest with three hundred hectares that belongs to Schloss Johannisberg. The wood from the oaks native to the area is used as a raw material to produce the wooden barrels that they use in their wine production. The natural texture of the wood, its structure and ingredients influence the character and quality of their top Riesling.
