Rudesheim is the perfect example of a romantic town. It is situated at the southern end of the 'golden stretch' of the river Rhine, just 40 miles south of Boppard. Famous for its vineyards, castles and 'old town' winding streets, Rudesheim is home to the fascinating Mechanical Musical Instrument Museum and the Asbach Visitors Centre, the birthplace of German brandy.

The Reinhotel, located in the centre of this popular riverside town has become a great favourite with Ulsterbus travellers since its introduction a few years ago. It is family run, offering a warm welcome and attention to detail for every group, culminating in wine tasting in the hotel cellar on the last evening of the tour. The October tour allows a visit to this area during grape harvesting time.
