Our first stop celebrates what this region is most famous for and what flows in abundance during the holiday season – wine! Starting with a behind-the-scenes look into this award-winning winery, we take a short tour where we will learn the many secrets and history of this amazing art. Next, we’ll enjoy a tasting of the traditional delicious wines cultivated in the Mosel valley and then delve into hot mulled varieties of spiced Glühwein, a heartwarming drink that goes hand in hand with the holiday season. We’ll also enjoy a sample of Prosecco, a wine that always gives that perfect sparkle to any holiday celebration. Our host, and 13th generation wine producer will guide you through the tasting, and also share his family's holiday tradition of amazing spices used to make the perfectly irresistible gourmet Glühwein! Before we leave, everyone will be given a special gift bottle of Glühwein to take home as a keepsake to enjoy later and have a chance to stock up on wine for their personal collections with a visit to the vineyards onsite store.
After departing the winery, we will follow the Mosel for a short scenic drive to the fairytale town of Bernkastel–Kues where our first Christmas Market of the day is waiting to be explored.
