About the tour
Discoveries of burial mounds on the heights of the Rhine and fortresses near Kiedrich are attributed to the Celts as builders. Germanic peoples and Celts first came into contact with wine on a larger scale through the Romans. The Romans settled the area here for over four hundred years. They were excellent wine connoisseurs, exporters and incredibly active in their wine culture. The Rheingau wine culture is no less diverse and timelessly alive.
Curious people who have always wanted to know more about the first vines in the Rheingau, the development of winegrowing in this traditional and historic region and what the Romans had to do with it, have come to the right place on this tour.
On the circular walk, you will learn interesting and exciting facts about the Roman taste in wine, the Roman wine varieties, the cultivation of wine and the wine trade of the Romans and how they dealt with this historical drink in everyday life at the time.
The history of wine does not end with the Romans, but continues in all its diversity in the Rheingau. Walking in a wine region that has been alive for centuries, you will also learn more about Rheingau wine history, differences in taste, the influence and importance of terroir and much more on this tour.
