Afterwork-Vinotheque-Evening

The economic sector to which the town owes its fame is primarily winemaking. Since a visit by Queen Victoria in Protected content the town's name, known in English-speaking countries as Hock, has become synonymous with Rhine wine in general and with wine from the Rheingau region in particular.
According to tradition, the saying “A good Hock keeps off the doc!” became established at the British court due to the good taste of Hochheim wines and their nutritional value. This means: A good Hochheimer replaces any doctor, or keeps the doctor away.
