Mosel Valley
Wine and tastings
Choose a tasting close to where you sleep. A riverside winery visit is easier when the route home is already settled.
Middle Mosel
Ask a Bernkastel-Kues producer about an appointment, tasting language and whether a short visit or a longer seated tasting is offered. Put the market square and the tasting on the same side of your day.
Trier and Traben-Trarbach
Look for a town-based tasting if you arrive by train. In Traben-Trarbach, keep a wine-cellar tour separate from the Advent market; neither implies the other is open.
After the tasting
Use the walk, taxi or last train you planned before booking. If travelling with someone who does not drink, ask the producer about alternatives rather than assuming they are included.
