In wine there is truth, and you can toast to that anywhere. – Friedrich Hegel, German philosopher
Our Castles & Wine: Germany Tour is an unforgettable journey through the enchanting wine regions of southwest Germany. Nestled within the scenic river valleys, these regions are sprinkled with historic villages and medieval castles, surrounded by terraced vineyards and lush, forested slopes rising along the riverbanks. This tour, the original in our Castles & Wine series, takes you along four iconic rivers: the Main, Neckar, Rhine, and Moselle. We explore nine renowned wine regions, visit magnificent castles and palaces, and tour a 900-year-old abbey winery. Each day brings new experiences, filled with the timeless charm of castles and the exceptional flavors of German wine.
Highlights of the tour include the Mainfranken wine region with two nights in the charming town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the famous German Wine Road with two nights in Heidelberg, and four days exploring the breathtaking Rhine and Moselle river valley wine regions. But there’s even more to experience. Each destination brims with half-timbered (exposed-beam) buildings dating back centuries. Our wine experiences are diverse, featuring tastings, cellar tours, a vineyard walk, and a wine-pairing dinner. Each castle visit offers a unique perspective—from historic ruins to an impeccably preserved castle owned by the same family for 33 generations, to an opulent 18th-century palace. Five evening meals are included, one of which takes place in a beautifully restored medieval castle.
