Here they paused a while from their voyage, with the intention of visiting more minutely the Rheingau, or valley of the Rhine.
The whole eastern bank of the Rhine to Lorich, called the Rheingau, has been remarkable centuries past for its wines.
At Rdesheim begins the Rheingau, which is the very “vineyard” of this country.
During this time they made several excursions into the Rheingau, and finished their tour at the ancient Heidelberg.
The Rheingau, or the part of the Nassau in which we now are, produces the best wines of the Rhine.
