…best destinations for wine tourism

Every year, the World’s Best Vineyards awards the top 50 most beautiful vineyard in the world. For the 3rd year in a row, Schloss Johannisberg made it into the TOP 10; this year receiving the fabulous 5th place globally. In Europe, we are ranked 3rd and in Germany, Schloss Johannisberg remains the undisputed number 1.
The World’s Best Vineyards team is tasked with finding, evaluating and drawing attention to outstanding wine cultural estates worldwide.
These unique places offer connoisseurs worldwide the opportunity to taste excellent wines, learn interesting facts about the development of the wines, and experience the wine cellars.
Therefore, it is the overall package that is decisive. In the case of Schloss Johannisberg, this includes our excellent wines and historic wine cellar, the unique location of the cultural site with the magnificent view far over the Rhine Valley, our first-class culinary restaurant, and the opportunity to experience a cultural event on the Johannisberg.
This and much more distinguishes the top 50 wineries. A jury creates a prestigious list that spans five continents and presents the most beautiful vineyard experiences from around the world.

“This award is an honour and renewed confirmation of our many years of efforts and our philosophy,” says Stefan Doktor, Managing Director of Schloss Johannisberg. “Our passion for the winery drives us every day to create unique experiences for our guests in addition to the vinification of excellent Rieslings and at the same time to preserve the tradition and history of the Rheingau. The fact that this is recognized and appreciated by a first-class jury of experts is both an aspiration and an obligation for us. It’s a very nice feeling to be one of the best of the best. For the future, we have the ambition to unfold the potential that is still dormant here and there.”
