Travel Guide For Visitors to Moselle

Fancy a real escape without fighting through crowds of selfie-stick wielding tourists? The Moselle Valley, in Germany, might just be the secret you need to know. Share on Facebook

Picture This

Impossibly steep vineyards tumbling down to a meandering river, medieval castles perched on hilltops like something from a fairy tale, and wine so good it'll make you question everything you thought you knew about German vintages.

Visiting The Moselle Valley - Before it Gets Busy

Welcome to the Moselle Valley, where the Rhine's quieter cousin serves up drama, history, and some seriously impressive Rieslings.

Why the Moselle Valley Deserves Your Attention

Let's be honest, when most people think of German wine regions, they either draw a blank or mumble something about sweet white wine from the 1980s.

But the Moselle Valley is having its moment, and savvy travellers are cottoning on fast.

This serpentine river valley, stretching from the French border near Trier to its confluence with the Rhine at Koblenz, offers everything you'd want from a European wine region; minus the eye-watering prices and pretentious sommeliers.

The Romans were onto something when they planted the first vines here 2,000 years ago, and frankly, they had excellent taste.

Getting Your Bearings - Moselle Valley Geography Made Simple

The Moselle Valley runs roughly 195 kilometres through western Germany, carving its way through the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.

The river itself actually starts in France (where it's called the Moselle), pops through Luxembourg, then settles into Germany for the scenic stretch that'll have you reaching for your camera every five minutes.
