The tour in the vintage bus starts at 10 a.m. at the tourist information office in Bingen (Rheinkai 21). At 10.15 a.m., there will be a tasting of three wines with a tour of the cellars at the Hildegardishof winery. Afterwards, the post bus will take you to Gau-Algesheim, where the next highlight awaits: at 11:50 a.m., there will be a sparkling wine tasting at the Nikolaushof winery, followed by lunch and a short tour of the winery. After the snack, the bus will chug leisurely on to Ingelheim, where a three-wine tasting will begin at 2:15 p.m. at the Mett & Weidenbach winery. Another highlight is the subsequent guided tour of the Kellergenossen exhibition in the Ingelheim wine cellar – a glass of wine included. At 4.30 p.m., the historic Postbus will finally take you back to Bingen. If you feel like it, you can round off the day after the tour at the ‘Night of Seduction’ on the Rochusberg in Bingen.
