While we will have a car, we are also open to hiring a guide to drive us around between tastings. If anyone has recommendations, they would be much appreciated.
Vielen dank in advance.
The Mosel has so much to offer I would recommend slowing down and just enjoying the trip. We have made dozens of trips up the Mosel and just kind of enjoyed slowing down and enjoying the trip. It is amazing how some of the vineyards are built on REALLY steep cliffs.
While I can't recommend any specific wineries, the town of Bernstein-Kues is just adorable. The Burg Eltz castle is pretty cool as well.
Make sure you spend plenty of time at Trier to soak up the Roman Ruins as well as the Dom. When faing the Dom you get a great lesson in architecture. Standing in the square the old cathedral, on the left, is Romanesque and the one on the right is early Gothic.
Viel Spaß!
