To help you find the perfect souvenirs from your vacation, I've put together my top 8 Rheinhessen gift tips.
Rheinhessen wine directly from the vintner or the Vinothek
Revel in vacation memories, show friends photos from the vineyards, and drink the wine you brought home from the vintner. Rheinhessen wine is the perfect souvenir from your vacation. When visiting the winemaker at the winery or in the vinotheque, even buying the wine becomes an experience. A selection of AUSGEZEICHNET vinotheques can be found at the Rheinhessen website.
Mainz Souvenirs
Who does not know the Mainzelmännchen, Mainz 05 or the Mainz carnival? In no other Rhine-Hessian city can you find so many souvenirs with cult status. The "mainz STORE" at the market offers the largest selection of souvenirs, plus plenty of digital information options and a vinotheque. The Mainzelmännchen appear classically and in many designs, e.g. as Santa Claus, astronaut or doctor. Soccer fans don't have to look far either. The basic equipment and much more for 05er fans is available at the Mainz 05 store in the city center. Visiting one of the small stores in Mainz you will surely find gifts for all your friends and family at once.
Addresses:
"mainz STORE" : Markt 17 / Domplatz, 55116 Mainz
Mainz 05 store: in the MEWA Arena, Isaac-Fulda-Allee 5, 55124 Mainz , or Seppel-Glückert-Passage, Mainz
Beer
If you are looking for a gift for a wine lover, then I have a tip for you. In Rheinhessen you will also find some beers that are super suitable as a gift. Whether you choose the classic version or a seasonal variety, the beers of Rheinhessen are brewed according to their own recipes and each has a special character. The Volkerbräu Alzey, the Worms Hagenbräu and the Rheinhessen-Bräu you get from the producer himself or you discover it in small regional stores. There and even in some supermarkets you can also find the Mainzer Owl beer.
Delicacies from the manufactory
Gifts that you would prefer to keep for yourself are the best, in my opinion. Small delicacies from the Rheinhessen manufactories are definitely one of them. They are prepared with love from regional products and that's exactly what you taste. For the sweet tooth there are chocolates from Nina's chocolates manufactory, accompanied by a delicious coffee from the coffee beans of Müller coffee and for the gourmets, the grape seed oil from the Wonnegauer Öhlmühle an.
Books about Rheinhessen
After the vacation, you can't really put it into words how impressive this hike was or how impressive the Mainz Cathedral was. It is all the nicer that there are books in which authors describe Rheinhessen in the most beautiful words. With the books: "Glücksorte in Rheinhessen", "111 places in Rheinhessen that you must have seen" and "Wanderungen für die Seele" there is certainly something for everyone, otherwise you can find more on the Rheinhessen website. Book tips. It's worth taking a look at the books yourself, too, and planning your next trip.
Vinesponsorship
Have you ever wandered through the vineyards or sat in a conversation with a winemaker and wanted to capture that moment forever, pack it up and take it with you? It's not quite that simple, but a vineyard sponsorship comes pretty darn close. For a certain period of time, you can give away or take over the sponsorship of a vine and get a bottle of your own wine every year. Depending on the winery, a visit or even help in the vineyard is also possible. If you are interested in a sponsorship, then take a look at the Hemmes Winery in Bingen or in Wasems Engelthal Monastery in Ingelheim by.
Word jokes and dialect to touch
For you, the obligatory postcard is simply part of every vacation? Maybe this time it can be a slightly different postcard with a funny saying from Rheinhessen. In the small stores with Rhine-Hessian accessories and stationery you will not only find unusual postcards, sayings and cards but also jute bags, wine glasses or mulled wine cups with a little joke. You will have to smile a lot while strolling and shopping. The Rheinhessen souvenirs you will find for example in the Pink thistle in Mainz.

Travel experiences
It has often happened to me myself. I'm in the middle of the vineyards with the wine safari, listen to the stories and think, that would be something for my sister. At home I show photos and rave about it, but by the next birthday everything is already forgotten. That's why I take this tip to heart myself. At the next Wine safari, the Thriller hike or the excursion with the Wine truck I get directly a voucher to give away. Or I make directly nails with heads and plan the joint experience in Rheinhessen with the Day programs and packages of Rheinhessen Touristik.
