RheinWeinWelt
The RheinWeinWelt vinotheque now serves wine instead of brandy in a dialogue between old and new. On the historic Asbach site in Rüdesheim, 76 wineries, each with 2 wines from Nierstein to Königswinter, invite you to taste their wines. This happens here in an unusual way and becomes a physical experience that is unrivalled. In the old historic wine tanks, lined with opaque, shimmering original glass tiles and holding up to 70,000 litres, in which the raw brandy was stored in Asbach times, there are specially designed dispensers in which the wines are always cooled or warmed to the optimum temperature.
Asbach Visitor Centre & Wine Distillery
