9 Day Castles and Wine of the Moselle and Rhine
Feel enchanted by the cobbled lanes of perfectly preserved old towns, explore crumbling medieval castles and venture into the German countryside as you travel across the rolling hills dotted with family-run vineyards on this privately guided journey along the Moselle and Rhine.

Your adventure begins in Frankfurt, a cosmopolitan hub where ultra-modern skyscrapers seamlessly blend with a picture-perfect old town and characterful neighborhood hangouts. Continue to Darmstadt and visit its renowned artists’ colony before exploring the chilling ruins of the Frankenstein Castle. Travel to Europe’s oldest health retreat, Wiesbaden, and stop by a local winery in the small town of Eltville for your first taste of Germany’s refreshing whites. Pause in Oberwesel and expose your senses to the undeniable beauty of the legendary Rhine. The journey continues as you make your way to Bad Kreuznach; stroll through its spellbinding historical quarter and indulge in a bespoke wine tasting at a nearby vineyard. Next, arrive in one of the largest wine-growing hubs of the region, Lieser. Here, enjoy a private tour of the town’s castle and adjacent winery, and learn the secrets behind Lieser’s perfect blends. The following day hop aboard a classic 4X4 vehicle and explore the wine country outside of Rudesheim; visit age-old estates and sample a selection of wines with a real German Baron. Before wrapping up your holiday, unwind and recharge on a royal getaway at a historic castle in Kronberg.
