Everyday life can be busy and exhausting. Too many meetings, too little time for romance with your partner. Sometimes, one weekend away from home is just what you need to relax and to build up new energy. This calls for a getaway where you and your partner can unwind and enjoy those romantic and intimate moments just by yourself, without children or family. Luckily, Rheinhessen is home to several romantic hotels, where couples can enjoy contemporary luxury and local wine culture. Today we present you two romantic wine locations for couples in Rheinhessen that will enchant you with their intimate and reclusive style. Bring your partner and with a glass of wine in hand, dream yourself away into the softly flowing hills of Rheinhessen.
Jordans Untermühle
Our first Rheinhessen romantic recommendation is a hotel with historic charm and contemporary luxury. Situated in Köngernheim in the heart of beautiful Rheinhessen, Jordans Untermühle is an exquisite and unconventional location. Untermühle translates as “Lower Mill”, meaning the hotel used to be a mill. Since 2005, the Jordan family has transformed the 17th century structure into an exquisitely modern hotel while keeping the charming features such as the half-timbered main building and the giant wooden mill wheel. The result is a location with heart and soul.
Add a large swimming pool, relaxing massages and yoga classes and first-class cuisine and wine, and you have the perfect retreat for a romantic weekend. In Rheinhessen, relaxing and enjoying wine go hand in hand, therefore Jordans Untermühle offers a range of wine-related activities. Especially worth mentioning is the Herz & Rebe Spa (translates as “heart and vine spa”), which offers a wine-focused spa package for couples. All this qualifies Jordans Untermühle as one of the most romantic wine hotels in Rheinhessen.
WeinZuHause
Our second location for a romantic retreat in Rheinhessen is a hotel that does not feel like a hotel. WeinZuHause, which is owned and operated by Stephanie and Thomas Wild, strives to offer guests not just a vacation but a second home. Its name translates as “wine at home”, stressing the fact that a stay feels like visiting friends or family. WeinZuHause is a place where you can slow down and appreciate the essential things in life: Cracking wood in the fireplace, the smell and taste of a complex wine or the fresh morning air. And of course, the hotel offers those cozy little corners where you and your partner can retreat to and enjoy yourselves.
The in-house restaurant serves guests with inspiring local and seasonal food, freshly cooked by Chef Marius Mück. Using locally sourced ingredients Marius Mück and his team dish up exquisite cuisine in a relaxed and unpretentious manner – just like dining at home. While eating you can enjoy a panoramic view from the restaurant’s large windows and the softly flowing lines of the Rheinhessen landscape of a 1000 hills.
Both Jordans Untermühle and WeinZuHause are two excellent examples of Rheinhessen’s romantic potential. Each of them offers a unique package of modern luxury, wellness, haute cuisine and local wine culture. So next time, when life gets too busy, you know what to do…
