The Rhinehesse Wine Vaults are a peculiar characteristic of the region. They had been developed in the middle of the 19th century. Model for the structural design were old monasteries and their groined vault architecture. This design reduced the danger of house fires that were a fatal problem at this time. The buildings were used as warehouses, lumber rooms and stables.

A few years ago winegrowers recognized the historical value of the buildings and restored them in detail. Nowadays the former stables and warehouses became charming wine taverns and Straußenwirtschaften. All year long you will find here cultural events and concerts.

How about an excursion to the Wine Vaults all over the region of Rhinehesse? You will be inspired by this voyage of discovery. Not only because of the fascinating architecture you will see, but also because of the friendly hospitality you will find there.
