Lorch am Rhein – A pearl of the Rheingau

It's great that there are still genuine pearls around! Lorch am Rhein is one and lies in the jewelcase of the Rheingau. Small wine-producers are ranged together like pearls on a necklace. Lorch gleams on the north-eastern part of the pearl necklace, strung along the Rheingauer Riesling Route. And it's worth a good look because Lorch has a lot to offer: heavenly calm, a dream landscape, historical treasures, hospitable locations, world-famous wines and to cap it all decent prices.
