Divine Wine and Rhine

The Rhine Valley is renowned for its vineyards, stunning scenery and historic towns, this tour gives us a taste of the best bits of this picturesque valley. We visit the Eberbach Monastery for a guided tour and tasting of Eberbach Riesling wine. Taste buds tingling, we make our way to the RheinWeinWelt wine cellar to sample more of the good stuff – we taste 5 wines, helping ourselves from the numerous self-serve dispensers. There are around 160 different wines from the Rhine region on offer here, so we must choose wisely!

This outstanding medieval city of Heidelberg boasts the oldest – and one of the finest– universities in the whole of Germany. To help us get our bearings we enjoy a guided walking tour of the city before spending time here at leisure. As we wander through the narrow streets of the Old Town, we can admire the iconic Heidelberg Palace that dominates the skyline as well as the Alte Brücke (Old Bridge) straddling the Neckar River.
