Ingelheim is known as a red wine town. Nevertheless, white grape varieties predominate - albeit only just. Nevertheless, it rightly bears its name, because red wine culture is alive and well in Ingelheim!, © Angelika Stehle/IKuM GmbH© Angelika Stehle/IKuM GmbH

The "Tassilo" wine stand on the Rhine is a contact point for visitors looking for information material on sights, cultural monuments and festivals in Ingelheim. It also provides tips on cycling and hiking routes as well as an overview of cultural events in the red wine town. Of course, the topic of "wine experience" is also included. At the "Tassilo", selected wines from the Ingelheim wine shop are served and small snacks are offered.

It is a meeting point for walkers and hikers and also invites cyclists travelling on the European long-distance cycle path to make a stopover. A detour to "Tassilo" is of course also a good idea for day trippers travelling to Frei-Weinheim by ferry from the Rheingau. At "Tassilo" you can sample delicious wines from Ingelheim vineyards and quench your thirst with a glass of water or grape juice on hot summer days. Small snacks help hikers and cyclists to recharge their batteries for the rest of the journey.

The "Tassilo" is located on the paved area on the Jungau, where the stylised "Tassilo figures" by sculptor Klaus Prior stand. The seven wooden sculptures tell the story of the trial of Bavarian Duke Tassilo III in the imperial palace in Ingelheim in 788.
