Restaurant & Wine Terrace on the Rhine

Beneath the wisteria, with the ships gliding past your table.

The day begins with breakfast, served daily from 8 to 10 am. From Tuesday to Sunday we lay the tables again from 2 pm: coffee and cake in the afternoon, hearty cooking and wine from our own estate in the evening. All to soft music and a view across the river, under the awnings when it rains, and indoors behind large panoramic windows on cooler days.

Beneath the wisteria, whatever the weather

The wisteria above our terrace is some 200 years old. When it rains, you can still sit outside under the awnings, and when the air turns cooler, you enjoy the Rhine from indoors, behind large panoramic windows.
