On 13 June, we’ll head to Eltville in the Rheingau to paint at the Kurfürstliche Burg.
Eltville is not called the “wine, sparkling-wine, and rose town” for nothing: in the old town, more than 350 varieties of roses bloom—especially in the moat and the Amtsgarten by the Kurfürstliche Burg. In June, the town celebrates its “Rosentage” — we’ll be there a week later, but hopefully we’ll still get to see plenty of blossoms.

The Kurfürstliche Burg is the town’s landmark, and in its immediate surroundings we’ll find roses, archways, historic villas, and the Rhine promenade. And of course there’s also the view across the Rhine to the floodplain island “Königsklinger Aue” with its villa.
Meeting Point
We’ll meet at 12:00 at the parking lot at Rheingauer Str. 63, 65343 Eltville am Rhein: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WcYZFwto6PxuqEwp7
Schedule
We’ll walk to the castle and take a look around the immediate surroundings together. Then everyone can pick a spot to paint. After 1.5–2 hours, we’ll meet again at the Anlieger by the castle and either stop in there or choose one of the many cafés in Eltville’s old town.
