Ruedesheim is just opposite of Bingen and you simply have to take a ferry-boat in order to get to the most famous village in the Rhine-valley: Ruesedheim am Rhein !Drosselgasse is certainly the most famous street in Ruedesheim am Rhein, and of course it is at the same time a terrible tourist-trap with extremely high prices...
BUT it is also a nice place to walk through and take a look at the special and fancy wooden facades of the buildings there. In order to drink a glass of wine you may still go to another part of town, that is a lot less crowded by busloads of tourists singing "Warum ist es am Rhein so schön..." ( Tell me, why is it sooo beautiful along the river Rhine..??)
Ruedesheim is in the federal district of Hessen, that reaches for just a few km also to the Rhine-valley at Ruedesheim.
Many of the hotels in Ruedesheim are pretty close to the train-line and sleeping might be impossible most of the night, so it might make sense to sleep in Bingen and enjoy the wine in Ruedesheim ;-)) !
BUT make sure you catch the last ferry !!

Directions: Ruedesheim is at the right bank of the river Rine and opposite of Bingen. You may take the carferry there - the next bridge is at Mainz, in a distance of 60km upstream.
