St. Hildegard Abbey Annual Grape Harvest

RUDESHEIM, HESSE - OCTOBER 04: Nuns of St. Hildegard Abbey and two Vietnamese brother of the Chau Son Abbey harvest grapes for their annual vintage on October 04, 2017 near Rudesheim on the Rhine, Germany. The St. Hildegard winery is the last in Germany that is still fully-owned by an abbey. The winery traces its beginning to the 11th century and the wine-making of the nuns from the St. Hildegard Abbey at Bingen, the abbey's former location just across the Rhine river. The St. Hildegard varieties include Riesling and Spaetburgunder. The nuns sell the wine from the abbey store. (Photo by Thomas Lohnes/Getty Images)
