Assmanshausen

Tucked away in the north-western corner of the German cultural region of Hesse, Assmanshausen is a traditional and charming rural town with a history of winemaking that can be traced back to the twelfth century.

Assmanshausen nestles on the banks of the mighty River Rhine at the foot of gently sloping hills, 185 acres of which have been terraced to allow the grapes of the town's vineyards - the largest contiguous plantation of Pinot Noir vines in Germany - to ripen to perfection in the region's sunny Mediterranean-like climate. The fine red wine produced as a result can be sampled in many of Assmanshausen's inviting and traditional inns and cafes.
