EXCURSION
A highlight of the EMBO Workshop is the excursion. This year, we will visit the beautiful and historic Eberbach Monastery, located amongst the vineyards of Eltville am Rhein.
Founded in 1136 by St. Bernard of Clairvaux (Burgundy) the monastery was one of the most active in Germany, and also boasted the largest vineyards in medieval Germany.
Today the monastery continues to make exquisite wines and offers guided tours, enabling everyone to enjoy its history and architectural splendour. It also serves as a set for film and TV: the Season 5 trailers of Game of Thrones were filmed here, as well as the film The Name of the Rose.
Our excursion this year will include a strolling wine tasting tour, which will take in the different wine cellars, halls and refectories of the monastery. You will learn about the art of wine making as well as life in the monastery through the centuries.
Delegates will have free time to roam around the monastery, discover its secrets, buy wine or relax with a coffee. This will be followed by dinner in the Lay Brothers Dormitory, which is located in the largest building within the Eberbach Monastery complex, the massive Lay Brothers Building from the early 13th century.
We look forward to welcoming you along with us!

The city of Mainz is a charming, open-minded city. It dates back two thousand years to Roman times and still has a historic center with a magnificent medieval cathedral. It was also here, in 1450, that Johannes Gutenberg invented modern book printing. The city is located at the confluence of two of the most important rivers in Germany, the Rhine and the Main, and has spectacular esplanades.
Mainz is within easy reach of both cosmopolitan Frankfurt, with its famous opera house, avant-garde museums and glass-and-steel banking district, and the Rhine valley region with its castles, vineyards and nature reserves that offer great outdoor activities. With Frankfurt airport – the largest airport in mainland Europe – only 20 minutes away, countless European and overseas destinations are within easy reach.
