Southern Rhine Experience 2024 - BASIC

Let the Winzerexpress take you on a tour through vineyards and right into the centre of Rüdesheim.

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 the special way by bike. Cycle along the Rhine and enjoy the beautiful lanscape. Next to you rolling vineyards and small alleys invite you to stay. And of course, you can try the typical Rüdesheim coffee.
