Many protagonists of a fine regional cuisine have declared their willingness to help fans of good taste from the middle of September until the beginning of November to savour Rheinhessen. Together with the butcher next door, the pasta maker from the neighboring village, the oil miller outside by the stream and many other producers. In addition, the local winemakers provide wines from their cellars and round up this culinary experience. 

Wasems Kloster Engelthal

In the idyllic Kaiserpfalz of Ingelheim, chef Berno Lammers treats guests at Wasem's Kloster Engelthal to a cream soup of Kirn's Hokkaido pumpkin with chilli and vanilla oil. He sources the pumpkin from the Markus Kirn fruit farm in Ingelheim. As a wine pairing he serves a 2020 Ingelheimer Grauburgunder Ortswein trocken from Wasem's own winery.
