Beautiful November

"November is beautiful" – especially in Lorch!"

Autumnal, heartfelt, glorious – that’s what November feels like in Lorch. Often, the days remain pleasantly warm until mid-November. That’s why hiking and cycling tours in the Rhine Valley are especially popular during this season. When the vineyards turn golden yellow, the sun bathes the Rhine Valley in a warm light, and the young wine ferments promisingly in the cellars, it becomes clear:
Now is the perfect time for a short vacation in the Rheingau.

Because: November is beautiful.

As the rest of the world slows down for winter, things are just starting to get cozy in Lorch. Hikes through the vineyards, a glass of mulled wine along the way, wine tastings with local winemakers, and a good dinner with a view of the Rhine in the evening – that’s relaxation à la Lorch.

Hiking in Autumn – Golden Paths, Clear Thoughts

The sun hangs a little lower now, casting its golden, warm light over our Wisper Trails and the Rheinsteig hiking routes. Especially in the morning mist or in the evening twilight, familiar trails in the Wisper Valley and the Rhine Valley take on a whole new atmosphere – it's nature’s cinema, inviting you to pause and breathe deeply.

Recharge and regain your strength – after a long, demanding year – take a moment to stop and take a moment to breathe!
Give it a try! In the calm and golden glow of November, your restless thoughts can gently settle.

And the best part:
The trails are quiet, the temperatures are mild – Ideal for those who seek peace in nature without the hustle and bustle of summer.

Wine that warms – Hosts who take their time

In November, everything slows down – even at the wineries. The new harvest is resting in the cellar, and the young wine is bubbling away promisingly. The calendar empties out – which means: our winemakers have more time for stories, glasses, and good conversation.
In Lorch, you can expect authentic wine tastings, hearty food, and hosts who don’t just serve but are happy to share stories.

And if you'd like, we can accompany you on a small hike through the vineyards, with a mulled wine stop, a break for Christmas stollen, and a peek behind the scenes of the wineries in Lorch.
