Lush green vines, meadows, and fields, dotted with the red roofs and church towers of surrounding villages and the Rhine on the horizon—the Laubenheimer Höhe offers a fantastic view of the Rhine-Hesse countryside. It's no wonder that the idea to open a restaurant at the Laubenheimer Höhe estate was born during a walk.

It should be honest, straightforward, and warm. And above all, typically Rheinhessen. The Barth family has certainly succeeded in this with their comprehensive offering, from a beer garden to refined cuisine and wine enjoyment to an event location for family and company celebrations.

The Hofgarten offers walkers and cyclists typical Mainz delicacies, the best wines by the glass, and even draft beer. One floor up, guests will find the Weinbergshütte with its panoramic terrace, which offers a fantastic view over the vineyards down to the Rhine.

Inside, lots of wood and natural stone create a pleasantly warm atmosphere and conjure up a typical chalet flair. The barn, including its own panoramic terrace with separate garden, offers plenty of space for all kinds of events: weddings, birthdays, corporate events, or presentations. Catering here is in the experienced hands of the Favorite Parkhotel team.

The wine list features 50 select wines from Mainz, 100 of Rheinhessen’s finest wines, and wines from all the renowned winemakers of the Great Wine Capitals. The menu is rooted in the region and offers seasonal creations. The goal is to source all ingredients from the immediate vicinity.
