Tour and Tasting at Sekt Manufaktur Schloss Vaux with Florian Richter (Best German Sommelier, 2023) - Germany Classic 2026 (Franken, Rheingau, Mittelrhein, Ahr, Mosel, Nahe, Rheinhessen) by ombiasy WineTours )

we stayed at Schloss Johannisberg and had lunch there at the Schlosschaenke auf dem Johannisberg. Chef Simon Kieslich greeted us and treated us with an extra course. In my view, the lunch was at the Bib Gourmand Michelin/ 1 Star Michelin level. 

 

As dessert, some of us had a piece of cake. Typically, Germans do not eat a piece of cake with lunch but 2 hours or so later with an afternoon-coffee. or afternoon-tea.

Schlosschaenke auf dem Johannisberg

In an annexe of the centuries-old Schloss Johannisberg – the world's first Riesling wine estate – this bright, friendly restaurant has a wonderful conservatory and terrace. Thanks to its elevated location, it commands a wonderful view of the region and the Rhine. The food is fresh, classic cuisine with seasonal and regional influences served in a four- or five-course set menu format or à la carte. Appetising options include "Schloss Bouillabaisse", beef tenderloin Wellington, braised beef roulade and crêpes Suzette flambéed tableside. Various types of caviar also feature on the menu. Simple regional plates such as Spundekäs (spiced cream cheese) or "Rheingauer Schnittchen" (crusty bread with spreads) are also delicious with a glass of wine. Tip: There is also a wine shop.
