About this experience
Bookable direct @ Grape Escapes Germany
Germany has been in the wine game since the Romans first planted vines along the steep slate slopes of the Mosel.
Take a Grape Escape to the magical world of Riesling. Taste a mix of globally acclaimed and boutique family managed vineyards with heart and soul, showing great examples of how German wine traditions produce some of the best-respected Mosel wines in the world.
During personal tastings there will be many opportunities to swirl, sniff and slurp RIESLING ( the star of the show ) in all its glory and variations from bone DRY to late harvest Riesling coming from the different soils of blue, red and grey quartzite slate. We might even find some special German Pinot Spätburgunder and cracking Sparkling along the way.
I believe in open minds and open wines. It can be that more thirsty winelovers will want to join. More the merrier! Please state if you prefer your tour private. an additional fee maybe required based on seasonal demand.
