On my vacation, I love to get as much of the region as possible and be up close and personal instead of just visiting in a hotel. That's exactly why I prefer to take advantage of the many offers to stay at the winery during my vacation in Rheinhessen. I am very excited about the five wineries I have chosen this time.
Winery Reßler
If you not only want to spend the night at the winery, but also about the history of Harxheim, the region, the vineyards and the wine. the vineyards and the wine, then you are at the right address at the winery Reßler. address. Tanja Reßler is a culture and wine ambassador and loves to pass on her knowledge and passion to you. her knowledge and passion to you. So individual wine tastings, guided tours and combinations of both are possible. Also for her and regular guests, Ms. Reßler comes up with something new every time. something new.
The culinary diversity of Rheinhessen you can enjoy in the enjoy in the in-house Gutsschänke. Even if the restaurant is open only from Friday to Sunday you will not go hungry during your stay. If no other restaurant is open nearby or you need a salad to go with the grilled grill, talk to the Reßler family and they will be happy to help you out. gladly.
The guest offer of the winery has grown over the years. However, new buildings were never built, but the neighboring buildings were restored and renovated. Thus, the buildings and rooms still have some of their original charm. In the restaurant you sit in the old barn and the guest houses were once a dairy, a blacksmith shop and an old residential house. The combination of old elements and new charm is very well done. A stone staircase leads up to the modern equipped rooms. The design has been thought of functionality and different needs of guests, so you will find a barrier-free room and rooms with optional connecting doors or a kitchen. For optimal comfort, the sofa beds in the rooms were recently replaced and are now equipped with real mattresses.

Winery Meyerhof
At first glance, the Meyerhof is directly distinguishable from the other wineries. Even though the winery itself is already older, was was newly built here on the spot about 40 years ago. Which is why the winery has no old walls, but modern and shines in a friendly purple. In Rheinhessen hospitality, the accommodation then differs not a bit from the others. We are welcomed with the usual cordiality and a tasting glass from their own wine cellar. The Meyerhof is a family business, currently run by 2 ½ generations, as Alina Engel tells me with a smile. Engel tells me with a grin. She, her husband, her little daughter and her parents parents do everything they can to ensure that you, as a guest, feel completely at home.
For a short vacation, the Meyerhof offers with the Wine Experience Weekend or the Midweek Time Out various arrangements to experience the complete wine pleasure. On Fridays, there is always a joint tarte flambée dinner and on the other days, you will find a varied range of meals with Rhine-Hessian classics or fancy treats with the Flonheim gastronomy. If you prefer to just enjoy a small snack with a glass of wine in the evening, you can use the breakfast room in the large foyer of the winery. The right wine can be found in the wine refrigerator. Here you can test your way through the entire range and also write the wines by the glass on the confidence list.
The winery's wine has been certified organic since 2020, and the concept also extends to the guesthouse. At breakfast, you will therefore find many foods from regional or friendly farms on the buffet. Where the products come from, you can read on a display at the buffet. The selection of bread and pastries from the Flonheim bakery, the jams and the Flonheim honey make every day seem like Sunday. The breakfast egg from happy chickens is available cooked to order or as scrambled eggs directly to the breakfast table.
You can get an overview of the Meyerhof Winery, the rooms and the arrangements at the Website of the winery Meyerhof.
Cathedral courtyard
The Domhof in Guntersblum is not just a winery with a guesthouse. Here you will find the all-in-one package. Perfectly rested you get up and enjoy the rich breakfast, then you start on the recommendation of Mrs. Baumann a hike through the vineyards, with the well-filled picnic backpack, packed by the winery. In the evening you enjoy yourselves in the Weingold, the restaurant of the Domhof, sit down for a nightcap in the breakfast room and play a round of cards before you dream of the experiences and the grapes.
This is just one example of the many offers of the Domhof. In addition to the classic wine tasting or the vineyard tour, you can also opt for a guided tour of the wine cellar and learn not only a lot about wine, but also about the history of the old walls of the winery. This place was not always a winery. In the wine cellar you can still see the traces from the time when a synagogue stood here.
If you are looking for even more variety, then puzzle around in the Escape Room in the red wine cellar or explore the in-house geocache course. geocache course. A guided tour of the city of Mainz, a visit to the Oppenheimer cellar labyrinth or a stage-by-stage hike on the RheinTerassenWeg - all this is can also be reached without a car by staying overnight in the Domhof via the train connection in Guntersblum.
If you are not looking for so much adventure, but simply relaxation and nice conversations with the winemaker, then you are just as well off at the Domhof. You spend the night in the lovingly and individually designed rooms, some with unusual names. The Baumann couple assured me that it doesn't mean anything whether you get the key to the Bottle Store, Side Jump, Cloud 7 or the Heaven's Gate. Each room has its own story; feel free to ask about the one behind the name on your key.
You can't wait any longer and already want to know more about the accommodation possibilities? Then take a look at the Website of the Domhof.
Winery Bernhard-Räder
At first glance, the small village of Flomborn appears inconspicuous. All the more imposing appears the Bernhard-Räder winery, which has now become a four-sided courtyard again with a conversion. I have often had the feeling that you first have to take a look behind the doors of wineries to get a real impression. This has never been as clear as at the Bernhard-Räder winery. The winery has a history that goes back over 200 years in the family history, something the Bernhard-Räder family knows how to appreciate and protect. The breakfast rooms are located in a lovingly restored and furnished Art Nouveau building. You can get a glimpse of the winery's past on the optional guided tour "On foot through 200 years of the winery". The tour of the winery includes stories and anecdotes about the architecture as well as the family history and a wine tasting.
The guest house of the winery is located a little away from the actual farm and can be reached via a large garden. In the park-like grounds with old trees, you have the feeling of being somewhere else. Here grow the herbs for the decoration of the breakfast buffet and for the breakfast tea. The path to the guesthouse also leads past the chickens that provide the breakfast eggs.
The rooms are all furnished individually and according to a theme, and in two of them you will find two bedrooms and a small kitchen in the closet. Always open is the door to the Plauschstübchen, which invites you to convivial moments with tables, benches, a wine fridge and a coffee and tea offer.
Everything there is to know about the winery and its guesthouse, you can find on the website of the Winery Bernhard-Räder.
Peth Winery
The courtyard of the Peth winery is located somewhat inconspicuously in the streets of Flörsheim-Dalsheim. More precisely, the two courtyards, because meanwhile the guesthouse of the winery has grown up to the neighboring courtyard. Also in the Gästehaus Jutta Peth you are right in the middle of the winery feeling. At breakfast in the morning, you can have a glass of grape juice and ask the boss, Jutta Peth, about the about the special features of last night's wine.
At the Peth Winery every room is individually designed and also equipped differently. When booking via the booking request on the website or on the phone, Mrs. Peth will personally help you to choose the right room. So you get a room with a second bedroom, a bathtub, a minibar or the barrier-free variant. In any case you will find a free bottle of water and wine in your room or suite upon arrival. in your suite.
A highlight of the guest house is the architecture of the main house. The breakfast area and small reading and sitting areas are distributed over several levels and integrated into a kind of staircase. In the colder months, the entire area is heated by a large white plastered stove. It's wonderful to sit warmly on the integrated bench. When the weather is nice, I tend to go outside to the large roof terrace, which can be almost completely covered with awnings.
Arrangements with wine tastings, guided tours of the vineyards or a Guided tour at the Fleckenmauer can be booked individually. Ask Mrs. Peth gladly for She will advise you and take care of everything else. The winery grows 19 different grape varieties, thereby some new and unknown wines are created wines that are worth tasting. For this it is worth a visit to the winery's own vinotheque or you can taste the wines yourself in the evening. All open wines from the wine tasting are free for a nightcap. Only when you open a new bottle from the climate-controlled refrigerator, you enter it in the trust list.
A first insight into the guesthouse of the winery and the contact to Mrs. Peth can be found on the website of the Guest house Jutta Peth.
