With its 9,000 hectares of vineyard area, the Mosel region is far from being the largest wine growing region in Germany. Nevertheless, it is the oldest and its unique characteristics have made it world famous.

Hardly a visitor can leave Trier without having tried a glass of riesling. This fruity variety can often be enjoyed directly with the winegrower. In many of the numerous wineries along the Mosel or in the Trier suburb Olewig, you will be welcomed and you can visit the estate's cellars. Or you can indulge in a rustic wine bar in the city centre, where you can dive into the diverse world of Moselle wines during a wine tasting.

Of course, such offers can be combined very well with exciting wine tours to the Piesporter wine press or the Rheinische Landesmuseum. But even outside the museum, you'll find a connection with Roman ancestors with the Elbling varietal often served in the taverns along the Moselle, Saar and Ruwer.

Try a wine tasting in Trier to discover the pleasures of the local riesling.

At wine press at Piesport, the "Roman Wine Festival" is held once a year. Visitors can enjoy a grape-making process inspired by the Roman model and feast on the Via Vinorum (Wine Route) and its rich selection of Moselle wines and specialties.
