In 1870, Balthasar Ress founded the “Gasthof Ress” in Hattenheim in the Rheingau. In doing so, he laid the foundation for a long gastronomic tradition and for the 5th generation of the family-run, organic VDP.winery Balthasar Ress. Balthasar Ress’ vision is to create fine wines and fine moments in the most beautiful places in the world. The Rieslings and Pinot Noirs created by gentle winemaking and a lot of patience are not only the skill of the house, but also the flagship of the region. Highly classified top vineyards stretching from Hattenheim to Assmannshausen form the basis of these wines. The certification as an eco-winery is based on the sense of responsibility towards people and the environment. With its extraordinary offer, Ress’s service is available to guests to create unforgettable moments. The Balthasar Ress Gutshaus, the wineBANK Rheingau or the Veritable Lounge are ideal for celebrations or conferences. The wine bars & vinotheques in Wiesbaden, Frankfurt and Hattenheim offer a place for convivial evenings. For longer stays, the hotel’s accommodations are recommended. For example, discerning guests can find peace and quiet in the elegant “Suite” or the family-run “Guesthouse” located on the edge of the forest. They are all places of conviviality, hospitality and fine moments.

It all began in 1870. The courageous and capable young man Balthasar Ress, a trained butcher, wanted to be a host and founded the “Gasthof Ress” in Hattenheim in the Rheingau. In doing so, he laid the foundation not only for a long gastronomic tradition and hospitality, but also for the VDP winery Balthasar Ress, which today operates ecologically. The winery, which is still family-owned today, still acts according to Balthasar’s original motivation to be a good host and to create fine wines and fine moments.
