The restaurant belongs to the Johannesburg Winery, which is the most beautiful open-air restaurant in the Rheingau region and does very good business. Fortunately, it was not the weekend and it was raining, so I booked a table two months in advance. Sitting by the window, you can enjoy the steamy Rhine River, the neatly arranged green vineyards, the cars speeding on the B42 road close to the river, the colorful trains running parallel to it, and the nearby Johannesburg Manor. It would be even more perfect if there were blue sky and white clouds or a sky full of stars. Among the many open-air restaurants I have tried in Germany, this one has a very good value for money, and the dishes are very exquisite. Unlike those local farm dishes, it is closer to the style of Michelin restaurants. Parking is free of charge in the area in front of the restaurant. Before leaving, you can go to the winery store to take away two bottles of white wine, and there is a Chinese introduction to Rheingau wines.

The Schloss Johannisberg winery, to which the restaurant belongs, is the world's first Riesling winery, with a history of grape cultivation of more than 900 years. Riesling has been the only variety planted for nearly 300 years. In 1755, a messenger fell ill on the way and delivered the picking order from Bishop Fulda two weeks late. At that time, all the grapes were overripe and some had grown mold, but this accidentally gave rise to the top wine variety, late-harvest wine, Spatlese. The winery later changed hands several times between Bishop Fulda, Count Orlani, Napoleon's Marshal Kelleman, and Emperor Franz of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was finally transferred by the emperor to Prince von Metternich, then Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1816. Currently, the winery still belongs to the descendants of the Metternich family and is not open to the public. Only the restaurant and viewing area are open to the public. The first seven photos are of the restaurant, and the last eight are of the winery.
I read a book called "Small Town Germany🇩🇪" edited by Xu Xu, who has been studying in Germany for ten years. The first article introduces the Riesling of Mount Johann Castle. Recalling the castle that I had taken a picture of from afar on the train🚞 when I went to Rudesheim before, and reminiscing the cool feeling of the Mount Johann Riesling white wine given by the children👧, we were encouraged to walk to the Rhine River again: Today is Sunday, and our RB10 train🚞 can only go to Wiesbaden for some reason. The original plan of Google was to go to Geisenheim. Before the train arrived in Wiesbaden, the driver broadcast 📣 output, combined with the notification on the platform 🚉 screen before getting on the train, and the enthusiastic German couple🧑🤝🧑, seeing that we did not get off in time after arriving in Wiesbaden, they were worried that we would take the train back to Frankfurt, so they came back to inform us. Fortunately, we noticed that they looked at us with strange eyes when they got off the train, and we also felt that something was wrong [Smart]! Get off the train immediately🚞, and go to info to ask where the replacement bus🚌 stops? Follow the crowd to the starting point of bus No. 171 and wait for the bus🚌. Arrive at Geisenheim and transfer to bus No. 183 to the destination [proud]. This originally planned 2-hour trip took us more than three hours to get there because of DB's Sunday shortened line. Photos cannot reflect the beauty visible to the naked eye🤩As Xu Xu's title says: Johannisberg Schloss A legendary great discovery! Please explore the legendary story of the invention of Riesling white wine by yourself! #德国镇🇩🇪 #德国莱Rine河畔 #德国葡萄酒产地之旅 #遇原味德国 #德国旅拍
