Trier - Koblenz - Wiesbaden / Mainz

Wine has shaped the history, culture, art and, not least of all, the people of Germany themselves. A friendly, nearly Southern European cheerfulness sets the tone not just in the vineyards, but in the cities as well. This German Wine Sampler itinerary offers opportunities to experience not only the vineyards, wine cellars and wineries—and wines—but also the culture and history of each city.

This itinerary features the wine regions of the Rheingau, Mittelrhein, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Pfalz and Rheinhessen. In towns along the way, you can enjoy specially planned dinners with a variety of regional wines. You can visit wineries for tours of their vineyards and visit cellars for wine tastings. You can take guided city tours matched with your specific interests. And you’ll have the opportunity to take side trips by train, car, boat, bike or foot into some of the wine world’s most scenic settings.
