The Beating Heart of Riesling
wineBANK Rheingau – History meets modernity
The wineBANK features two historic vaulted cellars, from the 17th and 20th centuries respectively, that have been given a stylish makeover. Regionalism and sustainability are woven into the overall wineBANK design. The cellar has retained its beneficial coat of so-called cellar mold, which delivers a natural atmosphere that has been enhanced with high-quality slate from Bacharach and quartzite from the Taunus mountains. Energy-saving LEDs provide ideal lighting without emitting UV rays that could damage the wine.
Another special feature: wineBANK founder Christian Ress is also the owner of renowned VDP member estate Balthasar Ress. This lends itself to wonderful synergy between the Rheingau wineBANK and the Balthasar Ress estate. As a wineBANKer, you can have wines from Balthasar Ress delivered straight to your locker at special pricing. For larger format bottles, they can be stored in a dedicated large-format storage space. Book a moderated wine tasting or vineyard tour, concluding with a jovial toast back at the wineBANK.

The Rheingau’s most beautiful side
The Rheingau is more than just home to some of Germany’s finest wines. It is also, from both a geographical and gastronomical viewpoint, an absolute anomaly. The small town of Hattenheim features a unique microclimate as well as boasting three outstanding restaurants known far beyond the borders of the Rheingau itself. Combine an aperitif at the wineBANK with a fine meal at Franz Keller’s “Adlerwirtschaft,” Josef Laufer’s “Zum Krug” or the “Kronenschlösschen,” followed by a stroll through world-famous Rüdesheim or a stop to admire the Eltville Rose Garden.
