Wine Tasting & Dinner at Eberbach Monastery

A Special Meal in a Monastic Setting Enjoy dinner in a former Cistercian monastery whose lush vineyards have produced wines for centuries. Drive to Kloster Eberbach, a monumental yet simple Romanesque and early Gothic monastery church renowned for its architectural heritage. Its vineyards have been maintained throughout its history, despite its secularization in 1803 and various incarnations since. Meet your host in the historic wine cellar, where grapes were once transformed into sweet Rieslings for centuries. Here, you will have the chance to sample some of the monks’ favorite wines. After, enjoy a guided tour of the church and the monks’ cloister, once strictly reserved for the use of ordained monks. Proceed to the restaurant, where you will enjoy a dinner prepared with the freshest ingredients from the Rhinegau. After a delicious meal in a hallowed setting, return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
