Finnisch für Anfänger:
JUHANNUS = Mittsommer / midsummer
The summer solstice was called Ukon juhla ("Ukko's celebration") after
the Finnish god Ukko. After the celebrations were Christianized, the holiday
became known as juhannusafter John the Baptist (Finnish: Johannes Kastaja).

Or Finnish Ladies' group decided to "celebrate" juhannus
in the Rheingau winery area, and of course we chose the location
called Johannisberg.
Our seven km walking tours startet at his point - without tasting.
The hills along the river Rhein are not completely covered by wine.
But this is the basic view.
Johannis at juhannus.
Some roses are still blossoming, and how beautiful they are.
These seen in a village along the route.
Winery area, indeed.
And now the last hill up and there's our restaurant.
No coffee, no!
The view from the Schlossschänke is quite pleasant.
The food was okay, most of the portions huge,
the cook was careful with spices.
And please note, after your walking tour: no beer served!
50 Hektar groß, exakt nach Süden ausgerichtet. Ein dem Taunusmassiv
vorgelagerter Quarzit-Hügel. Mit einer Neigung von 45 Grad erstreckt
sich der Berg hinauf auf 182 Meter ü. d. M. und bietet den Trauben
eine perfekte Sonneneinstrahlung.
Seit 1200 Jahren wird auf Schloss Johannisberg Wein angebaut,
seit 1720 ausschließlich Riesling. Hier ist die Wiege einer der
ältesten und edelsten Rebsorten der Welt.
In terms of importance for quality wines, it is usually included
in the "top three" white wine varieties together with
Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. (Wiki)
