Be part of a winery tour escapade for lifetime memories! We have designed this tour for the wine connoisseurs and newbies who would like to acquaint themselves with Northern Europe’s most stunning vineyards closely. This private tour will make the interactions intimate and personal. And we will meet the winemakers for an even livelier experience!
Moselle
Moselle valley is famous for the most beautiful sceneries in Germany. This wine region is filled with ingredients for a perfect romantic holiday, featuring the Moselle river winding through the lush terraced vineyards and fairy tale settlements.
The first vineyards in the region are attributed to the Romans, who planted them along Moselle river’s steep slopes. Many grape varieties have risen ever since, but the area is famous for Riesling. If you are just getting started with your wine enthusiasm, the vast array of wine styles here will undoubtedly thrill you.
Moselle wine has a light taste but with intense flavor and fragrance. You will appreciate its perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. Moselle Valley offers an ideal ambiance that favors a wide variety of grapes. Don’t be surprised to come across red wine grapes in Moselle, despite its cool climate!
Along the Moselle river lie many vineyards which find the steep slopes favorable for the growth of their wine grapes. The airflow and exposure to the sun’s warmth create a great atmosphere that favors grapes’ growth. During the day, the sun’s heat is absorbed by the slate soil. At night, the soil slowly releases its warmth to the vines. This phenomenon creates an optimal vine growth environment.
We will hike through the steep and scenic vineyards and get to taste some of the world’s most fantastic white wines.
Day 1 – Exploring the Moselle Valley
We will pick you up from the airport or your hotel on the first day of our tour. As we cruise the valley, you will love the spectacular scenery as we wind our way to the Moselle Valley wine estate. On arrival, we will have a rest before we commence our wine tasting escapade in the evening and enjoy a local meat delicacy. The winemaker will then guide us as he unravels the fascinating history of his wine estate. The estate produces various types of wines along with other brandies and liqueurs.
Day 2 - Via Ferrata at Calmont Hills Vineyards
If you are a hiking buff, get ready to be spoiled with the hiking splendor! We will explore the Calmont Hills, known for its Via Ferrata climbing paths. If you have been searching for a hiking experience that pushes you to the limits, you are going to love the sheer hillside vineyards, which are among the world’s steepest.
If you prefer something more easy, the hills have scenic walking paths too.
In the afternoon, you can rest before enjoying a delicious dinner together.
Day 3 - The city of Zell and the ‘Black Cat’
Get ready to be amazed by the eccentric sceneries as we ride to Zell. There we will get active by hiking to Collis Turm, after which we will immerse ourselves in a delightful wine tasting. The city of Zell is famous for Zeller Schwarze Katz (Black Cat) wines.
