We went on a tour of the Rhein River and to a Wine Tasting at Stefans in St. Goar. We had a blast! The boat ride was 2 1/2 hours then we road the train back to the Winery. We tasted at least 30 different wines and Brandies. He even had a Kinder wine for the kids. Stefans Peach Brandi is #10 in the world and his wines are allowed to represent Germany. His Ice Wine (which is made only when the grapes freeze) is wonderful but very expensive. In the states the bottles go for around $200-$300. ( There has not been any Ice Wine made in 7 years. The grapes have not frozen.) You can get it from him for around 70E. Which is like $120 for us. We had a wonderful time and plan on going back. We got to se a lot of the castles and all the grape vines. It was aliitle cold on te boat, but there coffees and hot chocalates were great.
