Rheingau Kloster Eberbach
Bernard of Clairvaux sent monks here in 1136 to build a monastery and make wine. Nine hundred years later, the basilica still holds an 8-second echo the monks engineered for Gregorian chant. In 1712, they wrote 'Cabinet' on their best barrels and locked them in a separate cellar — a Bonn bureaucrat codified that word into German federal law in 1971 as 'Kabinett.' Sean Connery filmed The Name of the Rose here in 1986 — every interior scene is real, but the famous exterior was fake. The WineBar1136 pours individual samples at €1, no booking needed.

Kloster Eberbach
The world's oldest continuously operating winery. Cistercian monks took over Roman vineyard sites in 1136 and created the first German wine "brand." The medieval monastery is stunning; the wines are impeccable. This is where "The Name of the Rose" was filmed.
